I would recommend that you read about the SEED mission and guide your Common App recommenders to tailor the responses accordingly.
Yes, my daughter’s did, for Landscape Architecture.

You are right, looks like a change for this year. Last year we had to submit 2.
That’s fully weighted GPA, not sure of UC gpa. His transcript is kind of complicated with dual credit. He’s earned his AA during high school.
Accepted! In-State.
Admitted to L&S with Robinson LSBE (Bio/Business dual major program) as primary, MolCell Bio as secondary. Also invited to apply to SEEDS scholarship.
UW 3.97, uncapped GPA 4.6, capped UCGPA 4.33, 98th percentile class rank (ELC designated)
1540 SAT // 11 APs + 5 Honors
Capstone of application was a singular STEM EC that wasn’t too insane. I’d say the majority of my application however was in community service/NPO work, followed by a few interest clubs.
My PIQs don’t read too well, but I feel like I was concise and very informational in them.
Waitlisted at UCLA for MCDB, UCSD for CS-Bioinformatics.
Accepted to Irvine and Davis for Bio (also got honors college at Irvine, scholarships at Davis).
My CA rejections consist of Cal Poly SLO and SDSU surprisingly.

You cannot apply as a Direct admit into HAAS as a Freshman this year. You are admitted into L&S and then take the required courses to apply in your Sophomore year.
Next Fall 2024, they plan to offer a direct admit for in-coming Freshman.
