He didn’t apply to UCSC because they don’t have the programs he is interested in
Happy to hear!!
It is so hard on these kids. What school is your daughter leaning towards?

This is crazy, D23 stats better than D20 who got Honors at UCSB, Regents at Irvine and Regents candidate at Cal (attending). Similar test scores (don’t count for d23) and both Social Science majors. I can’t believe with the removal of test scores and the increase in applicants how much more competitive it has become in 3 years. My kid will probably go OOS since she wants big time football and marching band. Sigh.
Wow, that’s awesome!
Looks like with out SAT, some private schools have figured out GPA and whole profile bump that could be given.
