[quote=SK in CV][quote=ltsdd]BTW., if you’re a California HS senior, a 3.5 gpa and a combined 1800 on the SAT will guarantee you a spot at one of the UC Schools.[/quote]
since when, and under what program? I’m reasonably sure that was not true 8 years ago. My daughter had significantly higher grades than that, and she didn’t have any kind of guaranteed admission.[/quote]
Don’t know exactly when they had this policy. It’s not quite “guaranteed” but it’s as close to a guarantee as you’ll get.

The numbers I used above is just one possible example to achieve the so-called UC score to be eligible. The link below is where you could find more info:
