<p>Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I'd have to score on certain tests to be able to apply for ELC for UC schools. One person told me that I had to get a 2100 on the new SAT while another person told me that they don't look at SATI, that instead they look at SATII and AP scores?</p>
<p>Yeah, so I'm kinda confused.</p>
<p>Can someone clarify for me the requirements for ELC by testing and the minimum scores I would need?</p>
<p>As far as I know, it doesn't depend on test scores at all. If you're in the top 4% of your high school class by GPA rank, then you get ELC.</p>
<p>hahaha is mostly right...here's the official word from the UC website (note that you do need to meet the regular test requirements that all applicants must meet):</p>
<p>ELC Requirements</p>
<p>GPA >= 2.8
Must be designated by UC evaluators as being in top 4% of participating high school graduating class
Must complete 11 UC-approved courses by end of junior year.
The 11 units include:
History/Social Science 1 year
English 3 years
Mathematics 3 years
Laboratory Science 1 year
Language Other than English 1 year
VPA or Electives 2 years
If you are UC-eligible through ELC, the University will notify you at the beginning of your senior year. You must then submit the University's undergraduate application during the November filing period and complete remaining eligibility requirements including the Subject and Examination requirements to be considered fully eligible. Fully eligible EC students are guaranteed a spot at one of UC's undergraduate campuses, though not necessarily at their first-choice campus.</p>
<p>sorry, OP....even a 2400 would not qualify for ELC -- it's class rank and class rank only (the purpose is to give a boost to students in poor performing schools).</p>
<p>ELC is based only on gpa from UC-approved courses in your Soph and Jr years; bonus points for UC-approved bonuses count, with no cap. Thus, no matter how your HS calculates gpa, the UC will recalc based on UC criteria. </p>
<p>fwiw: Irvine has accepted all ELC apps over the past few years, even tho it's not one of the guaranteed schools (think Merced).</p>
