<p>I just got rejected from all the UC campuses, and those were the only ones that I applied too. I do plan to appeal all the schools I applied to, but I heard that the UC system guarantees at least one of their UC schools if you are the top 12%. I have a decent GPA 3.8 unweighted, SAT mid 1700s, superb extracurriculars and good essay. Any responses would be great - I need help.</p>
<p>sorry misspelled least and i can't go back and change it</p>
<p>Certainly file all of those appeals and call some admissions departments. If there are no other desirable four-year schools that accept late applications, then the best advice I can give is to do a year at one of CA’s great community colleges and then reapply to the UC schools next year as a transfer student. If you continue to be an A student in your first year of community college, then you’ll likely be sitting pretty, enjoying some UC of your choice come sophomore year.</p>
<p>With that gpa, I am inferring that you did not fulfill one of the requirements for UC admissions… are you sure you met the a-g course requirements? Did you supply either SAT or ACT along with two subject tests?</p>
<p>I agree with DunninLA’s suggestion, maybe you didn’t fulfill the requirements. You are only guaranteed admission to at least one campus if you fulfill the requirements…and being rejected from ALL of them seems to suggest that you didn’t.</p>
<p>Here are you UC Admission Requirements:
2 yrs HISTORY (must have one yr. World History, 1 yr. US History)
4 yrs ENGLISH
3 yrs MATH (must have algebra and geometry)
2 yrs LAB SCIENCE (biology, chemistry, or physics)
2 yrs FOREIGN LANGUAGE (same language)
1 yr VPA (visual performing arts)
1 yr ELECTIVE</p>
<p>Also, check and make sure that your courses were UC-approved, especially your VPA. Also make sure your science classes were UC-approved LAB science.</p>
<p>Other than that, appeal. Maybe they just messed something up.</p>
<p>OP – go to this link, type in the name of your high school (if in CA), and make sure your courses were approved:</p>

<p>ELC stands for Eligibility in the Local Context and is one of three paths to freshman eligibility for the University of California, along with Eligibility in the Statewide Context and Eligibility by Examination Alone. Under ELC, the top 4 percent of students in each participating California high school class will be designated UC-eligible based on the coursework taken while in high school.</p>
<p>The University implemented the ELC program to advance long-held goals. ELC program increases the pool of eligible students and was designed to return UC to the guideline set by the California Master Plan for Higher Education, which The University implemented the ELC program to advance several long-held goals. </p>
<p>is that the top 12.5% of public high school graduates will meet the UC eligibility criteria.
The ELC program gives UC a presence in each California high school and serves to stimulate a college-going culture at those schools that typically do not send many graduates to the University.
The ELC program recognizes and rewards individual academic accomplishments in the context of the student’s high school and the opportunities available to the student.
This website is designed to answer questions about the ELC evaluation process and policies. It provides information about submitting student transcripts and addresses common concerns of high school officials, students and parents.</p>
<p>you need to go see your HS counselor pronto. You should at least have been offered Merced and Riverside.</p>
