SAT 1420. 3.8 UW GPA. 2 sport varsity captain, good ECs
He is thrilled – roller coaster of emotions denied at USC two hours ago and then this
@hsparent13 Thank you! It’ll be a very tough choice for sure!
Admitted (in-state)
Major: Molecular Environmental Biology
UC GPA: 4.11 (W)/ 3.92 (UW)
SAT: 1370 (720 English, 650 Math)
Strengths: SAT score? I’m not really sure, tbh. I definitely wasn’t expecting this. I also have 400+ hours of community service, which may have been helpful, and my essays were apparently pretty good (or so I’ve been told). Art school education, which shows flexibility and multi-disciplinary interests.
Weaknesses: not very many APs, due to a lack of availability. Also, my weighted GPA isn’t amazing, again, due to a lack of available courses.
General Comments: again, I am completely in shock. I didn’t expect to get in, so this is a very welcome surprise. Congrats to everyone else!
Son accepted early in February for Mechanical Engineering just got update notice in his portal with letter awarding him the Regents Scholarship. Awesome! Go Bears!

Double legacy but it’s a public school so they don’t really look at that
Strong EC’s (600+ community service hours, 4 years of student gov, 4 years of varsity golf + 2 years as captain)
I thought my essays were pretty good too…
Honestly I was expecting it, but it doesn’t hurt any less… Cal has been my dream school since I was 4 but whatever I guess, I’ll probably try to apply for grad school…
