UCLA Eligibility by Examination

Applying to College

<p>Hello folks,</p>

<p>Is anyone familiar with UCLA's "Eligibility by Examination alone" policy?

<p>They seem to be the only college in the US I could find that does something like this. I have very good SATs and qualify under this policy, but a low GPA, and other life achievements and challenges I could point to...</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, tests alone will qualify your for admissions to the Univ of California, but not necessarily your first choice campus. (btw: Eligibility by Examination is typically used by homeschoolers.) </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I qualify also, as an OOS. So this means I would automatically be accepted into any UC school?</p>

<p>Automatically accepted into A UC school. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can express your preference but they ultimately decide...</p>

Otherwise everyone would be in at Berkeley</p>

<p>Okay, thank you for clarifying. I thought that sounded a little fishy...</p>

<p>Has anyone ever heard of someone getting into UCLA or Berkeley under this system?</p>
