<p>yeah i got into both SB and Davis for engineering this fall (class of 08). I guess i was lucky..but it's really not that hard to get in. I think my essay helped me alot because i have crappy stats. So write a damn good essay!</p>
<p>How much does being selected for ELC help when it comes to admissions?
I've heard that it makes a big difference however I'm not sure... any help?</p>
<p>It helps a lot, more so depending on which school. I know schools like SB guaranteed admission to all ELC students this year.</p>
<p>Do you know of any schools that have guaranteed admissions with ELC this year?</p>
<p>merced does</p>
<p>irvine does</p>
<p>but seriously, if you have elc already, you would be getting in schools like UCLA CAL already. So why mid tier UCs.</p>
<p>thanks alot</p>
<p>wuts ELC.... HELP</p>
<p>eligibility local context</p>
<p>u get it if ur a california resident and a student in the top 4% of your class</p>
<p>Which is top 12.5% of all ca high school seniors (schools/seniorsthat participated at least)</p>
<p>ELC is the only type of class ranking that the UC's have</p>
<p>ELC is worth a ton
If you look at the point breakdown for the colleges you can see having ELC is worth an extra 1000 SAT points or a full extra point on your UC GPA </p>
<p>For UC Davis being ELC your chances of getting are 98%</p>
<p>You can look up the other %'s of the UC's , iposted the site a while ago</p>
<p>I do remember that with ELC the chances were above 55 % for each and without it the chances were below 20%</p>

<p>Go Davis!</p>
<p>bum p</p>
<p>Thanks Airforce, good information</p>
<p>I go to HS in Davis, I know quite a few people with 3.5s that gone in last year.</p>
<p>im applying there too</p>
<p>SAT: 1380
SAT II: Writing 670 Math IIC: 710 Latin: 720 Chemistry: 650
GPA: 4.34 W</p>
<p>dawgquelle, Is Davis your safety school? YOur stats look high.</p>
<p>yea. in case the HPS and other schools don't fare so well, i'm going to davis.
i applied to ucsd, ucb, ucla, uci for UCs because I figure it'd be worth it since 1) i'm cali resident 2) got decent test scores, high grades, lots of community service (soon to be over 300+ hours), some decent E.C.s 3) i spent time on 3 essays that I might as well send out to other UCs. </p>
<p>I know cousins who go to UCSD, UCI, UCD, and UCB. I've been to all but UCSD, and I like UCB's campus the best. I'm top 5% in my class taking toughest courses possible senior year <em>total 6 APs</em>.</p>
<p>Are you applying to any private schools?</p>
<p>yea harvard, princeton, stanford, usc, brown, and johns hopkins.</p>
<p>i think likely one for east coast would be JHU cuz there hasnt been anyone that I know of in my school that is applying either than me so I might have a higher shot of getting in.</p>
