<p>Hi, I have rencently recieved a letter from UCD saying I have guarenteed admission to the University.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>1) Does this mean I'm basically admitted to UCD as long as I apply? If so, then doesn't that mean that the SAT (or ACT) scores and the personal statements will become irrelevant?</p>
<p>From my understanding you still need to show some sort of effort even though you are in. But you are for sure in UCD</p>
<p>To complete your ELC eligibility and take advantage of the guaranteed admissions, you will need to:</p>
<p>-Apply to the guaranteed campus(s) on or before November 30, 2010
-Pay the application fee on or before November 30, 2010
-Take the SAT or ACT with writing by 12/10 and submit the scores to UC
-Take 2 SAT subject tests in 2 different areas by 12/10 and submit the scores to UC
-Complete all A-G requirements with a grade of “C” or better
-Maintain a UC GPA = or greater than 3.0 through senior year courses
-Graduate from high school</p>
<p>[University</a> of California - Local path](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/local-path/index.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/freshman/california-residents/local-path/index.html)</p>
<p>There is *no minimum score you must achieve *on your standardized testing, but you are still required to complete the testing and submit the scores by December, 2010.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your ELC and good luck!</p>
