<p>fluffy: UC Hout report shows a whole slew of “hardship” factors that boosts your app.</p>
<p>Many UC majors require a supplemental app that can include letter of rec, portfolio, and even an interview. My daughter just went through this for UCLA Film. What we took away from the process was the kids need to show them on the UC app that they can make good grades in the GE classes. After that the supplement was where the real selection was made. She got in BTW with GPA\SAT that was in the 50% range for UCLA admits. :)</p>
