<p>will this be taken into consideration?:
the fact that u live in a disadvantaged household, low income, poor housing..
my gpa was a 2.8, did not meet the requirement..but my life has been tormented with these personal issues that i was unable to obtain my fullest in the year that i was unsuccessful (even to my best degree that i gave..) </p>
<p>i applied to ucla, ucd, ucr, ucsd, ucsb, and uci...
:/..</p>
<p>I think you need a 3.0 to even be considered. There is nothing wrong with a couple of years at a cc. My son did that and will graduate with a great degree from UCSD this year. I believe "exception" means very high SATs to UCs, but I think the 3.0 UC GPA is still necessary.</p>
<p>anyone else know?</p>
<p>admission by exception is for those who didnt meet the requirement. so i dont quite understand why that wouldnt work.
and if it automatically doesnt work why didnt any of the uc's inform me the rejection mail already? alot of my friends who've been accepted got them late february and also through march.
so why havent i gotten an automatic NO on my admission already? are they still considering even though? (for my essay and letters were detailed about the situation i was in and how i have overcome it)?</p>
<p>Do you have high SATs? Just call and ask your UCs.</p>
<p>Hey, I applied through Admission By Exception as well. :) I wish I explained a bit more in my application, though; I merely just stated something about it at the end of one of my Personal Statement essays.</p>
<p>I forgot what my exact unweighted GPA from sophomore and junior year is, but it's around 2.85. My SAT scores aren't high enough so that I could have applied based on my test scores, but they aren't really low, either. I only have four extracurricular activities, but they are pretty diverse, and I have a leadership position in one of them. Anyway, I did not get an automatic "no" either. UCR is still reviewing my application, and I haven't found out anything from the other UC's yet. So I am assuming that I may still be considered (hopefully), though my chances are very slim.</p>
