How the Coronavirus changed getting into UC Schools (UC Davis, UC Berkeley, etc.)

[@dessertgirl7166]

What does this mean for current Sophmores in highschool? I see they are taking the pass/fail instead of letter grades currently for rising highschool senior, but what about rising highschool juniors? By the year 2022, will everything be back to normal or will it stay with the pass/fail system?

[@mateom7295]

Will they look at my gpa before the pass/fail went into effect.

[@robertsnipes6214]

So basically I got into these hard colleges so students next year could get in guaranteed.....?

[@zainahshaikh7721]

What about international students?

So I got accepted into uc davis today ima transfer student from community college but I’m worried because I’m currently taking one of the requirements classes which is Spanish 101 but I don’t want to take the class right now because of all the requirements with zoom and being on camera so I’m gonna take the challenge by exam is it possible to not take this language requirement and still have no problem in getting in because of Co-Vid-19?

[@krishkumar4081]

But for the pass or no fail, wont they still see the grades, won’t we have to give them our transcripts.

[@hongjooryoo6862]

If my school still does letter grades, does the letter grade still matter?

[@nafiseay5498]

that’s what i’m thinking because my school is still doing letter grades. but i really hope they look at the grades as pass no pass

[@rachelmoreno2947]

I think it would be really cool to do a video about the COLA strikes accross the UCs...

[@rachelmoreno2947]

@@craving2create thats great to hear!

[@jaydenpagsolingan]

Will this affect 2022 grads?

[@nafiseay5498]

UC accepts pass/no pass, but what if your high school is still doing letter grades? will they just count it as a pass no pass or what it is?

[@seankaufman2711]

Wait so if I plan on applying at UC Berkeley do I have to take my act or sat?

[@coochconnoisseur]

How will this year's winter through summer classes grades be evaluated for someone who will be applying in 2022?

[@nataliemedina5090]

Not related to the video but do do you recommend the 5 day or 7 day meal plan as freshman at UC Davis ?

[@nataliemedina5090]

Alex Fisher-Wagner cool thanks and what can you get with the Aggie dollars ?

[@nataliemedina5090]

Alex Fisher-Wagner Great ! Also I watched your dorm tour videos but I still can’t decide which one I would want to live in. I kinda wanted to live in cuarto but is it true it’s more expensive ? And is it bad as everyone says it is ?

[@nataliemedina5090]

Alex Fisher-Wagner aww really ? So u can only choose single , double or triple and a roommate then ?

[@goldendiploma9865]

Sounds like universities are dumbing down the requirement for enrollment in order to get more money by indebted students with massive loans for unmarketable degree (expect engineering).

[@carajillo1234]

What should I worry about when making my admission? I'm an international student from 2025 Class and I won't make the SAT due to the pandemic. How can I become an appealing student?

[@liueric5379]

Do you know anything about the 2020 fall quarter instruction? Will it be remote or in-person?

[@nidaf.2783]

How will GPA be calculated with pass/fail?

[@RajeevTBlank]

do you have any information for those who have been waitlisted?

[@RajeevTBlank]

@@craving2create like if any responses are being delayed? if they're affected in any manner?

[@RajeevTBlank]

@@craving2create thank you for your suggestion

[@SpicyYams]

I think colleges should start moving away from standardized testing because of the disadvantages some people have.

[@craving2create]

Agreed!

Quick UC Davis admissions question (unrelated to COVID-19), I am an out of state high school student planning to apply later this year, I am duel enrolled in a community college and a large portion of my classes are taken there. I read somewhere that UC schools will not accept these college courses as honors credit for out of state students. I'm worried how this might affect my GPA when being compared to other applicants. Please please please offer your insight.

[@kendallkennedy9278]

Also, I am a huge fan of your videos!!!

[@isabellacol7282]

Hi! I’m currently in the exact same situation, I’m an upcoming senior and want to apply at Davis! Please let me know if you found out any helpful info about that 😭
