UC Eligibility Requirements for Freshman Admission
The University considers you a freshman applicant if you are still in high school
or have graduated from high school but not have enrolled in a regular session at
any college or university. If you attend a summer session immediately after
graduating from high school, you are still considered a freshman applicant.
California Residents
There are three paths to satisfying the University's minimum
admission requirements for freshman students:
- Eligibility in the Statewide Context -
Students must complete specific coursework and college admissions tests and earned the required GPA and test scores.
- Eligibility in the Local Context -
Students must rank in the top 4 percent of their graduating class at a participating California high school.
- Eligibility by Examination Alone -
Students must achieve specified high scores on their college admissions tests.
Nonresidents
There are two paths to UC eligibility for nonresidents at the freshman
level. The first is the same as described above under
Eligibility in the Statewide Context and
the second is the same as described above under
Eligibility by Examination Alone, with
the following exceptions:
- Scholarship Requirement:
Students satisfy the Scholarship Requirement
with a GPA of 3.4 or above earned along with
the test score indicated in the Eligibility
Index under "Nonresidents."
- Admission by Examination Alone:
To be eligible by examination alone, nonresident
students may be able to qualify for admission to
the University by examination alone by achieving
high scores on the SAT Reasoning Test
(or ACT Assessment plus Writing) and two
SAT Subject Tests. To qualify for Eligibility by
Examination Alone, a student must achieve a minimum
UC Score Total-calculated according to the
Eligibility Index instructions-of 410 (425 for nonresidents).
In addition, you must earn a minimum UC Score of 63 on each
component of the ACT Assessment plus Writing or SAT Reasoning
Test and on each SAT Subject Test.
You may not use an SAT Subject Test to meet these requirements if you
have completed a transferable college course in that subject with a grade of C or better.
Minimum Eligibility vs. Selection
If the number of applicants exceeds the spaces available for a particular
campus or major - as is often the case - the campus uses criteria that
exceed the minimum requirements to select students. Meeting the minimum
requirements, therefore, is not enough to gain admission to many UC
campuses and programs. UC Irvine Admission
