UPDATE ON SAT... UC will not consider SAT or ACT test scores when making admissions decisions or awarding Regents and Chancellor’s scholarships. If you choose to submit test scores as part of your application, they may be used to determine your eligibility for the California statewide admissions guarantee, as an alternative method of fulfilling minimum requirements for eligibility or for course placement after you enroll. https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu//exam-re...quire There is currently an alert message displaying on the application and we will be including a similar update in the next Counselor and Advisors Bulletin. The three remaining campuses, Davis, UCLA, and UCSD will be updating their websites if they have not done so already.
