Hey guys, I'm stressing out a bit because I'm not sure if my SAT score is good enough for UCSC. Can anyone tell me what the general SAT requirements are for UC Santa Cruz? Are there any specific range or scores they look for? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! No need to stress—starting from the 2024-2025 application cycle, the University of California (UC) system, including UC Santa Cruz, is test-blind. This means they don't consider SAT or ACT scores at all during the admissions process. Instead, they'll focus on your academic achievements, like your GPA and course rigor, as well as other aspects of your application, such as extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation.
So, for UC Santa Cruz and other UC schools, you don't need to worry about your SAT score, as it won't play a role in your admission decision. Focus on showcasing your strengths, interests, and experiences through your application materials, and good luck with your admissions journey!
