<p>For the UC system, what happens if you are not both ELC eligible nor statewide eligible? Does this ruin the chance of getting into a UC, specifically UCSD, UCD, UCSC, and UCR with a 3.31 GPA, 1570 SAT score, outstanding EC’s and essay?</p>
<p>Please post this question in the UC forum . . . where people will know what you’re talking about! (No one else is going to understand the phrase “ELC” or its significance to UC applicants.)</p>
<p>ELC = Eligibility in Local Context? See this thread in UC forum <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-general/549698-elc-ca-uc-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-general/549698-elc-ca-uc-schools.html</a></p>
<p>You can find detailed freshman profiles for each UC campus on the UC admissions website. There is a huge difference in the selectivity of the schools on your list: at UC San Diego, less than 7% of the applicants in your GPA range were admitted, while 58% of the applicants in the same GPA range were admitted at UC Riverside.</p>
<p>@Aboukir I spoke to UCD, UCSC, and the UC central and they said that if you’re not ELC nor statewide eligible it just means that you won’t be guaranteed a spot at UCM if you get denied from all the campuses you applied to. You can still get in to your desired campuses.</p>
<p>With those stats - your path to a UC is transfer. I hope you applied more broadly.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Even if you are accepted to a UC, I’d strongly recommend attending a CC first and then transferring. There’s a lot of academic competition, and you don’t want to end up being overwhelmed by the work.</p>
<p>You may have a chance at Santa Cruz or Riverside. But as others said, don’t rule out the cc/transfer route.</p>
<p>Also, consider the CSUs, if you are a junior. You have a chance at many of them except the Cal Polys. </p>
