<p>What is considered a good UC index? and what is a UC index?</p>

<p>so basically your UC index has to match your GPA? and the UC score is only used to determine if you are in the top 9%?</p>
<p>Yes, they only use it to see if you are in the top 9% of California High Schoolers. It doesn’t have to match your GPA, your test scores just have to fall within a certain range relative to your GPA.</p>
<p>Do you mean the admission index? I’ve been wondering about that too. They have the handy tool to come up with the index number but I can’t find any reference to this number in the loads of statistics on UC admissions. It seems like it would be an interesting number to know for each campus, the average admission index number. I guess I could calculate it from the average gpa and the average sat scores, but I wish they would just publish the numbers for the campuses.</p>
