<p>Does anyone know if its actually true that UCSD, and some other UCs, use a rubric to determine whether or not one gets admitted? </p>
<p>UCSD</a> Freshman Comprehensive Review Process (Dec 2004)</p>
<p>Supposedly the cutoff for year 2009 students was 7700.</p>
<p>=/</p>
<p>[[sources are appreciated]]</p>
<p>THANK YOU FOR ALL REPLIES!</p>
<p>UCSD and UCD use it. I don’t know if Irvine employs this tool, but from the looks of the outcome, I don’t think Irvine does. Yes, the cutoff increased a lot this year. If you were off by a couple points, the school put you under Winter Admit.</p>
<p>Looks like being disadvantaged gives you a lot of bonus points.</p>
<p>yea i have like 7990 =/</p>
<p>if my parents were low income, with little education and i came from a ghetto place and went to a ghetto school i’d have at least 600 more points</p>
<p>well…i’m going to hope the cutoff for c/o 2010 isn’t too high</p>
<p>do a google search for “ucsd comprehensive review”. The link to the site at ucsd.edu where they give their formula is the 1st link</p>
<p>yea i dont think it will go past 7850 for next year</p>
<p>anybody know if IB diploma candidates are given points in this rubric – for being a diploma candidate rather than just an IB student? (taking identical classes – but diploma requires CAS and extended essay)</p>
<p>I hear UC app asks “Are you a diploma candidate?” If true, does that mean it has sginifcant impact?</p>
<p>Do different UCs look at this diffferently?</p>
<p>I believe, Diploma Candidate = 2 Years in a Educational Prep. Program. Subject Candidate = Nothing.</p>
