<p>Yeah they do. Look at page 4 of the application.</p>
<p>QUOTE FROM THE SITE:
"To give the ACT writing component equal weight to the SAT writing exam, the University multiplies the sum of your converted math, reading and science scores by two-thirds, then adds the converted English/writing score. This subtotal is then added to your two highest SAT Subject Test scores from two different subject areas, which are also converted to equivalent UC Scores, to reach your UC Score Total ([math + reading + science] x 0.667 + English/writing + subject test 1 + subject test 2)."</p>
<p>^^^ That's the MOST ridiculous this I've ever heard in my life. Why in the hell do they make it so complicated? Wouldn't it just be easier for them to glance at your scores and GPA rather than make some huge math problem out of it?
Seriously... my brain hurts after calculating all that.</p>
<p>yes, i am wrong. sorry curious and wish.</p>
<p>I'm sure they consider freshman year grades, but I don't think it's one of their really weighty factors. It can't hurt you THAT much.</p>
