<p>They tell you how they calculate how you get in anyways. it’s an whollistic proccess. basically it’s like, “each item above is worth points” meet a minimum points and you’re in. if there’s too much people they’ll scrutinize even more. like lets say 2300 (400 points) EC presidency (500pts)…add up 900 points. passed minimum requirement!!! kinda like that but whollistically</p>

<p>To be honest, for UCs specifically, I don’t think they weigh SAT scores as heavily as privates do. Mine was below average and I got in. For UCs, GPA is a major factor in admission decision. If you have an extraordinarily high GPA + atleast a “subdecent SAT score” + show that you’re active, then you’re pretty much in.</p>
<p>To see exactly where your stats would compare at the admitted class at each of the nine UCs, go here:</p>
<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx)</p>
<p>Then go through the prompts… pick the first prompt choice for the first 7-8 pages, then pick
<p>You can then see the % who were admitted within your SAT and GPA ranges for UCLA.</p>
<p>Oh wow guys! This helps so much you don’t even know! thanks!!! =]]</p>
<p>@Noxfinitie: that’s not how the hollistic process works, UCSD does the point system. IIRC, two people on the admissions committee rate your entire application on a scale of 1-7 based on how much you deserve to be admitted. If both of the reviewers give you anything higher than a 4, you are in. If both of them give you a 4, your application will be reviewed two more times. Anything lower than a 4 leads to a rejection.</p>
