[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had a 790 on the math SAT and 750 RW SAT and didn't get in. Only UC he got into was UC Santa Cruz. Meanwhile he got into Williams, Tufts, Carleton, Wesleyan, WashU and more. [/quote] Similar story here. It’s all about the PiQs and a high GPA (low rigor is fine). [/quote] Low rigor won’t get you into a top UC, especially if you are from a competitive region. In the Bay Area a 1550 along with a 4.5 and lots of APs is required to have a decent shot. At many schools if you aren’t ELC (top 9%) you are pretty much screwed. Yes I know that the UCs are test blind. But, Navience is your friend and looking at our Bay Area private it is easy to see that only kids with top test scores get in. The UCs admissions system is really good at filtering and finding the best kids at a school. It really speaks to just how weak many CA public schools really are.[/quote]
