I did read ur post. U wanted me to clarify what being "qualified". Notice thats the same terminology that UC system uses. IN the previous post u stated that, "Any students that graduate highschool is qualified to get into a UC." WHich very incorrect b/c there are much much more to being UC "qualified" than being handed a HS diploma

<p>That wasn't my last post son.</p>
<p>ok my *****.</p>
<p>
anyways, i heard under california law, atleast one uc has to take you if you have completed your igetc with a 2.0 or above.
</p>
<p>lol. did you make this up?? no such law exists! unless this is a top secret law that nobody knows about it. it all depends on your major and many other factors.</p>
<p>coll4me, i never wrote that. why did u put my sn in ur quoting box. Oh well.</p>
<p>They try to accommodate everyone who has at least a 2.4 and meets the other minimum requirements (completion of English and math, etc.)--to get into at least one of the UCs.</p>

<p>why would i make this up? </p>
<p>again, with the correction of the gpa:</p>
<p>i heard that under california law, atleast one uc has to accept you if you finish your igetc and have a 2.4 gpa. With that said, i can now recall that on the app it said that atleast 1 uc will take you in. What's with the hostility of some on this board towards this idea?</p>

<p>Cause no one has ever heard of it and it sounds kind of bogus. I've found the law on the highschool one and I posted it a few replies back, but I haven't found any law like that on transfers. I think if it existed though it would probably say something similar to the highschool one that says that you would be redirected to another UC like UCSC, UCR, or UCM if you don't get into any of the other UCs you applied to.</p>
<p>Please provide actual backup, reachin4thestars. It's difficult because most students don't apply to ALL ucs, so I'm sure many 2.4 students who meet minimum requirements get rejected from the system.</p>
<p>Also, many UCs actually require a 3.0 or 2.8 or other minimum for particular colleges, so the 2.4 applicants would be denied immediately. For instance, you could apply to all UCs but end up applying to colleges that have a higher than 2.4 minimum.</p>
<p>a lot of the things like that are just not written. I am not saying it's true, but if u see students get in like that, thats a reason to believe in it.</p>

no offense but that's pure BS.
If there is a such law, you will see hundreds of lawsuits against UCs every year.
Let's say I applied only to UCLA and i have igetc and 2.4GPA. Then under California law<a href="LOL%20:D">/u</a> UCLA can not reject me.
As gabew42 said, you are assuming all students apply to all UCs which is not ture. I only applied to three.</p>

<p>It may be true. If you read a couple posts back the info I postesd on the law for UC admissions with highschool students may be used on transfers too. For example, if you only apply to Berkeley and don't get accepted, you'll probably get redirected to UCR, UCM, UCSC and get an acceptance letter from them even if you don't apply. People getting acceptance letters from schools they don't apply to is not uncommon.</p>
<p>I'm sure there is such a law with highschool students, but not sure about transfers, although it isn't impossible.</p>
<p>It may be a practice they do but definitely not a law. You are misusing the word law. If you break the law there are consequences.</p>
<p>It is law for the highschools. For the transfers however, like I said, I haven't found info on that but it's not impossible that it may exist.</p>

<p>gawd, u got it wrong. </p>
<p>if u apply to ucla and get rejected, atleast ONE UC will still take you as long as you have a 2.4gpa and the IGETC requirements finished. i just asked a walk-in counselor. under california law, a UC school, any UC school has to take you in, when you apply for like only 3 UC's, technically when you're giving preference to those three schools; i.e. when you "apply" to UCLA you're applying to the UC system where they forward your information to ucla, so in essence what you're really doing is saying you prefer to goto UCLA.</p>
<p>again, back to the point; that is why Riverside has a 76% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>76%?</p>
<p>2 yrs ago when i applied it was 86% or something. Seems like they are heading in the right direction, it seems.</p>
<p>So...has anyone found anyone who got rejected yet?</p>
<p>I think it would be near impossible to find such a person here on CC just because this site tends to attract the best of the best.</p>
<p>Very well put Cardinal. What humors me the most about UCR is by and large the attitude of the students, at least the ones I know personally. For some reason they are under the impresion they are at a very prestigious school, on par with "UCLA" and "UCSB." I find this funny because sure UCLA is a top UC but UCSB? and no mention of Cal? I I think UCR students should be proud because they are at a University, its not a CSU and they earned their position. However it needs to be put into perspective, that perspective being that these days WHERE your degree comes from is sometimes more important as WHAT KIND of degree you have!</p>

<p>I don't know what UCR students you've met, but those kind are rare. I have many many friends there.</p>
<p>Well being from the Palm Springs area, alot of people from highschool endedup at UCR, it could possibly be a regional thing but that has been my experiecne.</p>
