High School ELC for UCs

<p>Hey guys, </p>

<p>I was just wondering what the general ELC (top 4% of class gpa wise) cut off was in your high school. I go to a moderately competitive high school in the Bay Area and was just wondering what other california school gpa cut offs were. I now that difficulty/grade inflation(or deflation) plays a major role but I wanted to get a general feel for what the ELC normally is. </p>

<p>I</p>

<p>At the high school I work at they ask for about the top 10% of the transcripts. The UC’s then evaluate each transcript to determine who makes ELC. It depends on the number of A-G courses taken. For this past year (class of 2010) you had to have 11 courses. Based on that they take they top 4%. Schools that gave automatic admits for ELC students this year were Davis, Santa Barbara, Riverside and Irvine.</p>

<p>Do they take into account the difficulty of the course load (APs Honors) or is it just over all GPA. Are there any other factors that go into ELC?</p>
