Cal State University (CSU) University of California (UC)HIGH SCHOOL GPA

Calculate GPA using only “a-g” approved courses taken after the 9th grade

SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS

15 yearlong college prep courses from approved “a-g” list are required:

“a” | History/Social Science

2 years of history/social science, including one year of U.S. history OR one semester of U.S. history and one semester of American government, AND…

1 year of history/social science from either the “a” or “g” subject area1 year of world history, cultures and geography from the “a” subject area

“b” | English 4 years of English (including no more than one year of ESL/ELD courses)

“c” | Mathematics 3 years of math (algebra I and II, geometry); 4 years recommended

“d” | Laboratory Science

2 years of laboratory science, including at least two of the three core disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics

At least 1 year of physical science and 1 year of biological science, one from the “d” subject area and the other from the “d” or “g” area

Both courses must be from the “d” subject area;3 years recommended

“e” | Language Other Than English2 years of language other than English (must be same language)

3 years recommended

“f” | Visual and Performing Arts 1 yearlong course in visual and performing arts (selected from dance, music, theatre/drama and visual arts)

UC-CSU Comparison of Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Freshmen

Information accurate as of August 2006.

Page 12: eh[ oek X[] deh[ oek X[] d ... cp

UC-CSU Comparison of Minimum Eligibility Requirements for Freshmen

Cal State University (CSU) University of California (UC)

TEST SCORES — ACT/SAT

ACT or SAT is required*

CSU combines best critical reading and math scores from multiple sittings of SAT; may combine best subscores from multiple ACT tests to calculate a best composite.

* Test required for CSU applicants who have earned an “a-g” GPA of less than 3.0.

UC uses the highest combined score from a single sitting of the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test. Also required are two SAT Subject Tests in two different subject areas: history, literature, mathematics (level 2 only), science or language other than English.

VALIDATION Of SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS By OTHER COURSES

Mathematics

A grade of C or better in the second semester of a yearlong algebra course validates a D in the first semester. A grade of C or better in Algebra II validates Algebra I. A grade of C or better in trigonometry or pre-calculus validates the entire high school

college preparatory requirement. Beginning with fall 2007 applicants, a grade of C or better in statistics will validate only Algebra I and Algebra II, not geometry.

Language Other Than English (LOTE)A grade of C or better in a higher-level course validates a lower-level course. A higher-level LOTE course can validate the

appropriate number of years based on the level. A college course can validate a high school LOTE course. The level of validation depends on the college course prerequisite and description.

Chemistry Beginning with fall 2007 applicants, a C or better in the second semester of chemistry WILL NO LONGER VALIDATE a D in the first semester.

VALIDATION Of D GRADES IN REQUIRED COURSES

Required “a-g” courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. Courses in which grades of D are earned must be repeated, EXCEPT in the areas of math and language other than English, where grades of D can be validated by successful completion of

higher-level coursework.

VALIDATION Of SUBJECT REQUIREMENTS By TEST SCORES

Subject omissions may be satisfied with appropriate test scores on SAT Subject Tests, Advanced Placement exams, and designated International Baccalaureate exams. A list of acceptable tests and scores is available on the UC and CSU websites.

REPEATED COURSES

The best grade will be used in the GPA calculation.

A course not completed with a grade of C or better can be repeated only once.

Information accurate as of August 2006.

BerkeleyUniversity of California The Personal Statement

For Freshmen

Why is the personal statement so important?As a vital part of your application, the personal statement is reviewed byboth the Admissions and the Scholarship Offices. At Berkeley we usethe Personal Statement to:

• discover and evaluate distinctions among applicants whose academicrecords are often very similar;

• gain insight into your level of academic, personal and extracurricularachievement;

• provide us with information that may not be evident in other parts ofthe application.

What does Berkeley look for in my personal statement?We consider:

• your academic record, accomplishments and activities;

• any unusual circumstances or hardships you have faced and the waysin which you have overcome or responded to them;

• your initiative; motivation; leadership; persistence; service to others;special potential; substantial experience with other cultures;

• all achievement in light of the opportunities available to you.

How can I write an effective personal statement?• Thoughtfully describe not only what you’ve done, but also the choices

you have made and what you have gained as a result.

• Allow sufficient time for:

– reflection;

– thoughtful preparation;

– several revisions, and;

– careful composition. Correct grammar, spelling, and sentencestructure will enhance your personal statement’s effectiveness.

After we have read your personal statement, we will ask the question,“What do we know about this individual?” If we have learned very littleabout you, your personal statement is not successful.

Do I have a better chance of being admitted if I write aboutunusual circumstances or hardship?Not necessarily; having a hardship is no guarantee of admission. If youchoose to write about difficulties you have experienced, you shoulddescribe:

• how you confronted and overcame your challenges, rather thandescribing a hardship just for the sake of including it in your applica-tion;

• what you learned or achieved in spite of these circumstances.

What if I am applying to a professional school or college (suchas the College of Engineering or Chemistry)?If you are applying to a professional school or college, it is importantthat you discuss:

• your intended field of study in your personal statement;

• your interest in your specific major;

• any school or work-related experience.

What if I am applying for a scholarship?• We recommend that you elaborate on the academic and extracurricu-

lar information in the application that demonstrates your motivation,achievement, leadership, and commitment.

What should I write about if I am applying to the EducationalOpportunity Program (EOP) —a support program forstudents from low income families in which neither parent is acollege graduate?• Discuss how the program might benefit you.

• Tell us about your determination to succeed even though you mayhave lacked academic or financial support.

HELPFUL TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN WRITINGThe prompt asks three questions, all of which you must answer. Chooseany of the three questions to provide a longer, more in-depth response ofabout 600 words; the remaining two questions require short responses(200 words each), for a total of about 1,000 words.

Read all instructions carefully.The most common mistake applicants make is to skim the instructions orto rely on information received from others.

Think carefully about how to distribute your word count.

• “Spend” 600 of the 1,000 words on the prompt that you believe givesus the best information about you as a person, and then allot 200words each to the other two topics.

• We do not require letters of recommendation or high school tran-scripts, so for your long response select the question that you believewill provide us with the richest information for our comprehensivereview of your application.

Think carefully about how you will respond to each question.Each year more students apply to Berkeley than we can admit. Ourselection process involves comparing your application to those of otherhighly qualified students who share similar experiences–serving asstudent body officers or leaders of organizations, chairing committees,playing sports, traveling, and accruing significant work or volunteerexperience. In composing your personal statement you should:

• distinguish yourself by writing about your own experience in a waythat sets you apart from other applicants;

• tell us if you have contended with a serious illness or disability, if youare the first in your family to attend a college or university, or if youhave other special circumstances which may have affected youracademic achievement;

• tell us how you achieved academic success in spite of obstacles faced,if any. If you have had no barriers to success in your life, describehow you have taken advantage of the opportunities available to you.

Think about your accomplishments and what you have gainedfrom them. You may:• write about the way in which an activity or experience changed an

attitude, crystallized a conviction, or helped you to establish a goal;

• focus on your life as a student, your participation in an outreachprogram or internship, or the hours you must work in order to helpyour family;

• tell us if you were prevented from enrolling in college preparatoryclasses because you were required to complete vocational education,academy courses, or pre-scheduled classes that are not on theapproved UC course list.

Plan for prep time.• Begin writing early enough so that you can refine and improve your

personal statement, allowing one or two days between drafts.

Write your own personal statement!• Write a personal statement that reflects your original thoughts. Ask

advice of whomever you like, but DO NOT USE ANYONE’SPUBLISHED WORDS BUT YOUR OWN. This includes “internet”essays.

• Write in your own voice. Use vocabulary and phrasing that arecomfortable for you. Try not to consult a thesaurus too often; trustyour own words to convey your message.

Proof, edit and share your personal statement.• Ask a trusted friend, teacher, counselor, or parent for comments. Ask

this person: “What works? What doesn’t? What sounds like me?What doesn’t? If you didn’t know me, would this personal statementtell you enough about me? Is it clear and understandable?”

• Get help from someone who has not previously read your personalstatement and who pays attention to detail. Remember, a carelesslywritten essay makes a poor first impression.

Some “don’ts”:• Don’t try to be hilariously funny or wildly creative — it’s difficult to

do and may not achieve the effect you are seeking.

• Avoid clichés.

• Don’t experiment with varied fonts and formats — keep your personalstatement easy to read.

• Don’t mistake a list of accomplishments for an essay. A list repeatsinformation found elsewhere in the application, adds little to ourunderstanding of you as an individual, and is not helpful in supportingyour application.

How do I get more information?• Help with your personal statement is also available online at:

www. ucgateways.org

Each year UCLA admits an extraordinary group of students.Wehave carefully designed our review process to ensure fairness andexpand opportunity.To select students for our freshman class, weperform a holistic review of all applications to UCLA. As admissionto UCLA is highly selective, it is crucial that freshman applicantspresent complete pictures of themselves, their educational histories,and their personal perspectives by thoroughly and carefully complet-ing the application.

How UCLA Selects Its Freshman ClassUCLA selects its freshman class through a holistic approach in which all of your achievements, both academic and non-academic,are considered in the context of the opportunities you have hadand how fully you have taken advantage of those opportunities.

The academic elements we consider are:

n Academic grade point average (GPA), calculated using 10th and11th grade UC–approved courses only.

n Performance on standardized tests: the ACT Assessment PlusWriting or the SAT Reasoning Test, and two SAT Subject Tests intwo different subject areas [English, history and social studies,mathematics (Math Level II only), science, or language].

nThe strength of your senior year program.

n Quality, quantity, and level of course work taken throughout yourentire high school program, especially course work completedbeyond the minimum a–g courses required for eligibility to theUniversity of California.

nThe strength of the program taken within the context of the highschool you attended.

n A progressively challenging academic program, including the num-ber of and performance in college preparatory, honors, AdvancedPlacement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and transferablecollege courses; mastery of academic subjects as demonstrated byhigh grades and exam results; and presence of summer session/inter-session courses that enhance academic progress.

n Passing scores on AP or IB exams.

n Sustained participation in activities that develop academic and intellectual abilities.

n Identification by the University of California as Eligible in the LocalContext (ranked in the top 4% of your school).

n Honors and/or awards in recognition of academic, intellectual, orcreative achievement.

We are also very interested in your personal development and background, and we use these elements from the application toincrease our understanding of you as a whole person. Consequently,the personal statement forms an integral part of our reviewprocess.We consider :

nYour likely contribution to the intellectual and cultural vitality ofthe campus.

nYour personal background and experience.

n Extensive leadership and initiative in school and/or communityorganizations and activities.

n Exceptional achievements, such as recognition for special talents or extracurricular activities.

n Employment or personal responsibilities.

n Overcoming life challenges relating to personal or family situations,social or economic difficulties, lack of educational opportunities, orchallenges particular to the urban or rural environment.

The personal statement portion of the application allows you theopportunity to provide information that will give us more insightabout you during the review process.The information the universityseeks in the personal statement should add clarity, richness, andmeaning to the information in the other parts of the application and should enable you to make the best possible case for admission.You should respond to all three questions that share with us youraccomplishments, perspectives, experiences, and talents that areimportant to you.The personal statement should reflect your per-spectives, but remember: the personal statement should comple-ment—not repeat—the information included elsewhere in yourapplication. Please see our information sheet on the personal state-ment for more information about writing yours.

Your academic and personal achievements are considered in the context of your educational circumstances, with an emphasis on theopportunities or challenges presented to you and your response tothem. Because our admission process is comprehensive as well asholistic, no single attribute or characteristic guarantees the admissionof any applicant to UCLA.
