<p>Transfer student with a 3.667 GPA. Poli Sci major.</p>
<p>I just spoke with UCSC admissions and they told me that whenever they are done with your application they will put your results up. They did not say that it was going to be at a specific time each day or week. Also they said that they predict that it could go into mid-april. </p>
<p>Hope this helps out some of you! For those of you who did not get in I’m sure it will turn out for the best whether you think so right now or not. But congrats to those who got in so far, and for those of you like me who are still waiting… Good Luck!! :D</p>

<p>Selection Policy for UC Santa Cruz</p>
<p>The faculty of the University of California, Santa Cruz, wishes to articulate the freshman selection policy it will use for the fall 2011 quarter. Listed below are the 14 UC-approved criteria that a campus may consider in selecting students for admission.</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz will calculate a score for each freshman applicant. For each of the 14 criteria, a specific point total is noted. A total of 9,200 points is possible. The higher the score, the more likely a qualified student will be admitted to UCSC.</p>
<p>Grade-point average (GPA)</p>
<p>Recognizing the connection between university success and high school GPA, the faculty will award up to 4,400 points in this area. The GPA is calculated on all “a–g” courses taken in the 10th and 11th grades, with an extra grade point awarded for an approved honors course in which a grade of C or higher is earned. The maximum GPA computed is 4.40.</p>
<p>Test scores</p>
<p>The UC-required examinations are a strong predictor of university success. The faculty will award up to 2,400 points from the following: the best score from the ACT plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test (single sitting), and two SAT Subject Tests in two different areas chosen from the following: history, literature, mathematics (Level 2 only), science, or language other than English.</p>
<p>Courses completed/planned</p>
<p>The faculty values students who have challenged themselves by taking more than the minimum subject requirements and will award up to 200 points in this area. Courses meeting UC’s “a–g” requirements will be considered, including those in mathematics and languages other than English taken during seventh and/or eighth grades.</p>
<p>Honors courses</p>
<p>Students who have taken or plan to take more rigorous senior-year course work, as defined by a UC-honors designation, will be awarded up to 200 points by the faculty. Courses approved for UC-honors include Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, UC-transferable college courses, and UC-approved honors courses (California high schools only).</p>
<p>Eligibility in the Local Context</p>
<p>The faculty wishes to reward top academic excellence of California students who are identified as ELC by awarding them 200 points. These students are evaluated in the summer before their senior year and are determined by UC to be in the top 4 percent of their high school class.</p>
<p>Quality of senior-year program of study</p>
<p>The quality of the senior-year program is of utmost importance to the faculty, and students may be awarded up to 200 points for their senior-year program of study. The total number of courses planned, as well as the number of honors courses planned, is taken into consideration. (Refer to previous criterion, “Honors
Courses.")</p>
<p>Academic opportunities in California high schools</p>
<p>The faculty understands that not all high schools in California can offer students the same academic opportunities and will award up to 400 points for those students attending lower-performing California high schools as measured by the state’s Academic Performance Index (API). (400 point maximum between this criterion and the last criterion, “Geographic Location,” below.)</p>
<p>Performance in academic subject areas</p>
<p>Students who have demonstrated outstanding performance in one or more of the “a–g” subject areas may be awarded up to 100 points by the faculty. Top academic performance sustained throughout a student’s high school career will receive consideration in this area.</p>
<p>Achievements in special projects</p>
<p>The faculty wishes to acknowledge achievement in special projects by awarding up to 100 points. Students will be reviewed for outstanding or exceptional achievement in one or more special projects related to an academic field of study, not necessarily confined to the “a–g” subject areas. Programs and/or projects outside the classroom in the “a–g” subject areas will also be considered under this criterion.</p>
<p>Improvement in academic performance</p>
<p>The faculty will award up to 100 points for recent improvement in academic performance. Students showing improvement in grades from their sophomore year to their junior year by at least one full grade point will be given consideration in this area. Only courses in the “a–g” subject areas will be calculated for this purpose.</p>
<p>Special talents, achievements, and awards</p>
<p>The faculty values students who have shown the promise to contribute to the intellectual vitality of the campus and will consider awarding up to 200 points in this area. Students who have earned significant recognition at the state, national, or international level in a particular field, such as visual and performing arts, written communication, student government, athletics, or community service, or who have demonstrated exceptional leadership potential, will be considered under this criterion.</p>
<p>Participation in educational preparation programs</p>
<p>The faculty supports the efforts of many pre-collegiate educational programs and the students whom those programs serve. Up to 200 points may be awarded for those students who have participated and persisted in certain Educational Preparation Programs, and for those students who have demonstrated academic accomplishment within those programs. (Refer to the list on page 12 of the University of California application.)</p>
<p>Academic accomplishment within life experiences</p>
<p>The faculty will award up to 500 points for those students who have demonstrated academic achievement while also having dealt with significant life issues. Life experiences include but are not limited to disability, low family income, first generation to attend college, need to work, and other special circumstances. </p>
<p>Geographic location</p>
<p>The faculty wishes to promote geographic diversity within the student body and will award up to 100 points to help achieve that diversity. Certain geographic regions where applicants live or attend school will be considered under this criterion. (400 point maximum between this criterion and the criterion “Academic Opportunities in California High Schools,” above.)</p>
