<p>Hi. I was looking around on the internet when I came across this on the UC Davis Admissions page. UC</a> Davis General Catalog | Admission as a Freshman</p>
<p>"Under this pathway, the top nine percent of graduating students in California according to the UC admissions index are guaranteed admission to a UC campus."</p>
<p>However on the Official UC page, it says this. University</a> of California - Statewide path</p>
<p>"If you're in the top 9 percent of California high school graduates and AREN'T ADMITTED to any of the UC campuses you apply to, you'll be offered a spot at another campus if SPACE IS AVAILABLE."</p>
<p>My questions are:
1. Say I qualify (Which I do, I checked). Due to the circumstances stated in the UC page, does this mean that if I, for example, applied to all the UC's, and I didn't get accepted to any but the lowest one academic-wise like UC Riverside, I would have to go to UC Riverside and will not be able to be part of this statewide path and choose a college?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Do you decide which college to go to if you are qualified for the statewide path?</p></li>
<li><p>Does anyone know how often "space is available" in this process and the chances of being able to go into a specific college if qualified?</p></li>
<li><p>Since I qualified, would you recommend I only apply for my top-end and middle ground colleges, and not the backups? Because if I don't get accepted to the top-end and middle ground colleges but I do to my backup then I can't redeem myself by using the statewide path. Or is this even the case?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Just to give a few stats in case it might help:
Rank 15/450
Weighted GPA 4.2
Unweighted GPA 3.9
SAT 1870 (Math 700, Reading 570, Writing 600)</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
