<p>does anyone know or predict what will be the point cutoff this year for UCSD's point system?</p>
<p>yup, we're psychic.....</p>
<p>mere students can predict things like that</p>
<p>It will probably fall fairly close to last year's cutoff, which I'm not sure about. Last years cutoff was posted before. Does anyone recall what it was?</p>
<p>Today a ucsd admission officer came to our school and i asked him what was the cut-off last year. he said it was 7535, but they lowered it to 7503 because he said there weren't enough admits.</p>
<p>and does anyone have a scoring guide, or know of one online? I can't seem to find anything when I look.</p>
<p>Is divorce between parents a "life-altering" event
or a "less severe" event?</p>
<p>well, it certainly depends on how extreme the divorce was....</p>
<p>what was the out of state cut off last year?</p>
<p>I don't think divorce really counts anymore since over half of marriages end that way. It is pretty commonplace these days. Now if your family was abandoned by a parent and you suffered an extreme loss of income that would be a hardship.</p>
<p>really? no one i know at school has divorced parents lol</p>
<p>7568 Instate (I think). Man I love memorizing random numbers oO;; For OOS, just add like another 100 pts or something.</p>
<p>how many points does only living with one parent give you?
they aren't divorced or anything, just live in different states beacuse of work.
since i live with my father , i don't get to eat dinner til like 9 everyday, and often have to cook, etc. etc often have problem getting transportation. etc
how many points would that be?</p>
<p>and if you are over the points, you are 100% in ? (given there was like no felony. etc)</p>
<p>^
1. Its worth a shot mentioning it in your PS so long as there isn't anything else too pressing (If not mention it in the supplement or something).<br>
2. If you're over the point total (add ~50 or 100 pts to last year's total to be on the safe side), then yes you're in.</p>
<p>I'm confused: it doesn't seem possible to complete 40 more semesters of courses than those required!</p>
<p>"The number of A-G semester courses beyond the minimum specified for UC eligibility
33-39 courses: 250 pts
40 or more courses: 500 pts"</p>
<p>UC eligibility requires 30 semesters, meaning to earn 250 pts., you'd have to complete 63 semesters worth of courses (30 classes)
Can that be right?</p>
<p>^
1. They count classes like Algebra I and Geometry from Middle School (although not for GPA purposes obviously)
2. Consider your senior year too</p>
<p>1 course is 1 semester. 12x4 is 48, that doens't seem to hard, they cound senior year too btw. And this is a guy who had only 2 a-g courses freshmen year.</p>
<p>I didn't know they counted middle school classes though.</p>
<p>Yeah but it says beyond the minimum. That would mean every year of high school you'd have to take a minimum of 7 UC-courses, wouldn't it?</p>
<p>that's probably just poor wording, it's NOT an official site after all. The davis points say "Number of “a-g” courses beyond 35"</p>
<p>Oh... does Davis have a chart you can link please?</p>
<p>But I'm still confused as to how anyone gets 33 semesters more than required for UCs... lol</p>
