<p>For all of you California residents, I need help with this. I have self learned almost every part of the college admission process but cannot figure/find out how ELC (is that it?) works. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>ELC formerly, before this year, was the top 4% of your class at each ELC eligible high school. This year it was changed to the top 9% but, instead of offering so many auto-admits to many of the 2nd-tier and all of the 3rd-tier UCs (as long as certain conditions are met), they are limiting the number to perhaps only one or two. You still need to complete a form, that was handed out during your junior year of school, to become ELC eligible. You also need to apply to the particular UC offering auto-admittance and pay your application fee(s).</p>
