Hey there! I'm looking into applying to several UC schools and was wondering if anyone could provide some insight on the SAT requirements for the Class of 2027? Thanks in advance!
Hello! For the Class of 2027, the University of California system has adopted a test-blind policy for the SAT. This means that SAT scores will not be considered at all for undergraduate admissions. The test-blind policy applies to all nine UC campuses: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz.
Since the UC system does not consider SAT scores, you should focus your efforts on other parts of your application, such as your essays, grades, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters. Keep in mind that the UC system values a holistic review of your application, so make sure to showcase your strengths, experiences, and aspirations throughout your application materials.
Best of luck with your applications!
