What does "unofficial transcript" mean? Your stats make me excited....well not the EC part though. BTW, are you OOS?</p>
<p>realistically, i don't have a clue about admits BUT S from cal same thing- called a few months ago- got the impression,for OOS still based on UW gpa-told that most of S xtras not considered--eg A+ in top uc college courses soc, psych, rhetoric not put in their formula unless part of HS GPA or over 20 units, AP's, tough private, 12th grade-- also not considered at least initially--so S was basically OOS 3.27, 1920 SAT not good, if you review the AI chart S is way low-- as GPAunweighted is 90%, had the feeling he had been waitlisted or rejected back in dec, i could be wrong but it seemed as if he would never get to holistic review,esp since cal students don't exactly add diversity and there is nothing unique re S, just a nice kid.</p>
<p>Hope to those of you without the best GPA:</p>
<p>Decision: Accepted (a few weeks ago)</p>
