<p>If you are in the top 5% that means you are also an ELC candidate, correct? Last year, being ELC meant auto-entry into UCI (as long as certain conditions were met). I think you will be accepted. Agree, not having ECs won’t enhance your application. Did/do you have a job? Do you do any tutoring? Volunteering, etc.?</p>
<p>Yeah, I signed a paper for that ELC thing. Not sure exactly how it works though. I have a class rank of 26 (rank 28 for 10-12) in a class size of 610. </p>
