<p>hi are you eligible to getting into a UC without being in the 12.5% of your class?</p>
<p>class size:500
my class rank is 70 right now and rising cuz my stupid sophmore teachers gave me bad grades when i was terminally sick and teaching myself earning me a= 3.3</p>
<p>now im maintaining a 4.0 this year with AP’s do u think i can get into a UC?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>In or out of state? I was under the impression that as long as you have a 3.0 (in state at least) you are eligible</p>
<p>Same thing happen to me, I was sick for a week and my spanish teacher gave me a C when I didn’t deserve it.
Well a 4.0 GPA with APs is not good to be honest(if it is out of a 5.0 GPA range), you definitely should talk to your teachers. All you can do now is work harder, I mean try to get all A’s if possible.
From what i read, are you asking about Eligibility by Local Context (ELC) or just about regular admissions?<br>
For regular admissions you can still get into a UC, however, not UCLA, UC Berkely, or UC San Diego. These school are competitive: you need at least a 3.9 (excluding APs and honors) to be in the ball park of accepted applicants. </p>
<p>Is that your weighted or unweighted GPA?</p>
<p>The 12.5% figure has nothing to do with your particular school. It is the statewide target of the number of students that will become “eligible” through Statewide Eligibilty for UC admission. For statewide eligibility, you must complete all A-G courses, maintain a 3.0 UC GPA (10th and 11th grade, A-G classes only, add 1 gpa pt for AP and approved honors), and complete either the SAT or ACT plus two SAT IIs in two different areas. The relative performance of other students at your school has nothing to do with statewide eligibility.</p>
<p>For LOCAL eligibility, the top 4% become eligible at each school so that even students from schools where no one meets statewide eligibilty can become eligible for the UC. For local eligibilty only, the relative performance of your classmates becomes a factor. </p>

<p>All of the above applies until the 2012 admissions cycle (November, 2011 applications), at which point the SAT SUBJECT test requirement is eliminated, the statewide target will be reduced to 9% and the Local eligibilty percent will be increased to 9%.

<p>uc sandeigo uses a point system in there application process, rank or percret isnt an option to accumulate any extra points except for ELC</p>
<p>Yes, UCSD uses a point system. Each UC, in fact, establishes their own admission system. However, for a student to be ELIGIBLE to be considered for admission to one of the 9 undergraduate UC campuses (including UCSD), they must have Statewide Eligibility, Local Eligibility. or Eligibility by Examination. In some very rare cases, Eligibility by Exception is used - most often for recruited athletes. ALL of this information appears on the UC admissions website. Students interested in applying should rely on the UC website for admissions information.

<p>Technically, class rank is not an admission requirement (other than ELC). if you are instate and have a 3.0+ UC gpa, you are guaranteed acceptance to at least one campus. Use an essay to explain your illness, which will give you bonus points under comprehensive review at some campuses.</p>
