[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you are white and your son is not a recruited athlete then apply to private universities. The UCs really do not want white males. [/quote]

My in state white male DS applied to 3 UCs and got admitted to 2 of them (Davis and Santa Cruz).

High performing white male students at his HS got into Cal and UCLA, and 2 of them got into both.[/quote]

My instate white male with tippy top stats applied to 7 and got into 4 UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara , UC Santa Cruz and UC San Diego, waitlisted but didn’t get off at UC Irvine, rejected at UCLA and rejected at Cal. He was the ONLY non athlete recruited white male to get in from his school. He had a lot of AP and DE courses 40+ all As and 12 semester units of regular summer session Cal classes with straight As. I’m guessing this helped overcome his demographic and gender disadvantage.

His class was 50% white, 30% asian, 20% Hispanic and other. It was really weird but apparently the norm for our school. Especially since several of the white male students offered only UC Merced  got into to private T15 schools.
