My daughter with a 4.2 GPA got turned down for every UC University she applied to. She was applying in Business to get in to UCLA and Berkley for Business you need at least 4.5. Remember it isn’t just the campus it is the major as well.
@@MrBUGS713 Income does matter. With income comes better primary and secondary schools. Better private tutors, SAT ACT coaching, ghost writers writing essays, never having to get a job, baby sit, or even do chores. The affluent’s children are professional students. Their parents manipulate every possible factor for an advantage. They have college admission coaches who are former admission officers who charge $10,000 and walk their childs through the college admissions process to maximize your advantage. The problem is if you are well off and don't cheat or game the system you are screwed, because the well off cheat at everything and not cheating puts you at a huge disadvantage. We are well off and live in Santa Barbara CA about as affluent an area as you get. I tell my daughter to do her own homework and she tells me nobody does their homework alone either they do it with their tutors or their parents spend hours doing it with them. We know less affluent children who got accepted with poorer grades, less difficult classes, and far less optimum extra curricular activities. My daughter it multilingual, she volunteers from 300-500 hours a year.
Thank you to the out of state students, it has made public school much more in-accessible to CA residents (parent) that have been paying tax all their lives.
i know it is not your job but this just clearly shows me the insane grade inflation in high schools - and without a leveling of act/sat then this is becoming a lottery
Your videos helped me get accepted into college so thank you! I am deciding between The Cooper Union, Purdue, or UIUC for engineering rn!
I found this very informative and helpful. Thank you!

if the student is balck or latino, it will be way easier to get in UC.
@@DanielDD4889 Incorrect. The only differentiation now allowed is family income. There are no race based criteria in California anymore.
@@matthewhuszarik4173Oh my god. There’s a huge advantage if you’re Hispanic or Black. Income shouldn’t matter neither. Every heard of DEI?

Great video, would be nice to know if there is a way to get these stats but for graduate school admissions?

The volume coming out of this TH-cam video is so low that despite maxing out my computer's sound, I'm struggling to hear the presenter.
Thanks for the feedback; I'll be ensuring the audio quality is consistent in the future!
Seemed ok to me

its not necessarily grade inflation, its just that some schools have much more students that care more about school
