<p>After finishing my application for uc, this popped up: "After reviewing your academic record, we have determined that you are not in the top 9 percent of students at your high school according to UC calculations."
My class rank is 2 out of 33 and UC GPA is about 4.3.
My SAT reasoning test score is 2120.
Why am I still not the top 9%?</p>
<p>Sat scores affect your rank? Idk they might not count it since there’s only 33 people. Call them</p>
<p>Where is there a reference to whether or not one is in the top 9%? We did not encounter that on the UC.</p>
<p>Top 9% for UC purposes is determined by whether your UC GPA exceeds the top 9% threshold UC GPA set by previous classes at your high school. It is not based on your current class rank as calculated by your high school.</p>
<p>Perhaps the previous class had 30 students, with 2 of them having UC GPAs higher than your UC GPA (making you 3 out of 30, or 10%).</p>
