<p>FAMILY INCOME REPORTED ON UC APP

100-199 hours, 150 points: __________

<p>ACADEMIC PREPARATION PROGRAMS
--Listed on UC app or mentioned in essays
--Targeted programs like EAOP, COSMOS, MESA, Puente, UCCP, Upward Bound
--Reportedly, SAT prep classes can also count
150 or 300 points, depending on involvement: __________</p>

--Mentioned in essays on UC app
Up to 500 points: __________</p>
<p>THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER
--Grades in 7th-9th grade classes
--Grades in 12th grade classes (but if these go down too much your admission may be rescinded)
--Which UCSD college you apply to
--Which major you apply to
--Rank in class (except for ELC)
--AP/IB exam scores
--How many other students at your school apply or get in
--How "good" your essays are (content, grammar, writing style, persuasiveness, etc.)
--Where you live (unless you're out-of-state)
--Ethnicity/gender</p>
<p>Add up the number of points (out of 11,100 possible) and report your total here. The composition of the score does not matter, only the total number of points.</p>
<p>In recent years, the cutoff score for admission has been around 7400-7500. There is a slightly higher cutoff for out-of-state applicants. Previous years' cutoff scores can be discovered by mining through old posts in this discussion forum.</p>
<p>Note: This Comprehensive Review score is only applicable to UCSD. There is a similar point system in use at UC Davis. Most of the other campuses use a matrix system, where applicants are grouped into cells based on academic factors, personal achievement, and special circumstances, and then entire cells are admitted or denied based on available spaces in the incoming freshman class. Berkeley and UCLA use a system similar to private schools, where each application is reviewed manually by two or three readers and grouped into "definitely admit" or "definitely deny" or "further review" categories, and then the admissions staff discusses whom to admit based on what they want the composition of the incoming freshman class to look like.</p>
