NEW SAT II and "A-G" Policy for Students Graduating With The Class of 2012 and Beyond...
The University of California Board of Regents approved a change to the Univeristy's admission policy that will affect current high school students graduating in 2012 and beyond. The new policy requires that same number of "A-G" course and the same GPA as the current policy. The key differences are:
-
Two SAT Subject Tests will no longer be required for admission. However, students could still chooose to submit their scores for consideration as part of their application, just as they do now with AP scores. The Subject Tests also could be recommended for certain majors.
-
All Applicants will need to complete 11 of the 15 "A-G" course by the end of their junior year. Currently this is required only of students who are designated eligible by ranking in the top 4 percent of their high school class (3 English, 3 Math, 3 Science, 2 Social Science = 11 A-G Courses).
