SAT is not considered for UC admissions but Thank you for posting your stats. It would be helpful if you calculated out your UC GPA’s and admitted major to help current and future applicants.

Some very strong applicants wait listed for CSE and MechE.

I hope this means that UCD is going to make good use of its wait list, and that there is movement off the wait list for you folks :heart:
