Yeah just ran a HC EN run to try it out , takes some getting used to but should be fine . <| sep |> Thank you all so much for your thoughtful explanations ! Really means a lot to a beginner <| sep |> The cut off for all UC ' s is a 3 . 0 . Other than that it will be a case by case situation . I hate being negative , but I do want to be realistic . Knowing how competitive it is now , don ' t be surprised if you get waitlisted . Also , a test score should only help slightly . 4 years worth of grades definitely beats a perfect test score . Think of this you can score a 32 on ACT but you ' re doing 4 years of undergrad work . I would say your personal statement would help but since they don ' t have those anymore , I ' m not quite sure how they ' ll go about it .
