Question: I missed the December deadline to take the SAT tests. Should I still take them?
Answer: Yes, you should sign up to take the SAT tests as soon as possible.
Though we would not be able to use your test scores in our evaluation of your application, there is a chance you could be admitted without them. If that case, we would still require that you take the tests by the time you graduate from high school, or you would risk cancellation of your provisional admission.
If you are not admitted and wish to appeal, please let us know why you were unable to take these required tests by the December deadline.

Question: What are the freshman admission requirements?
Answer: Applicants must be eligible for UC admission, and then they must meet the selection requirements for the individual UC campus they wish to attend. The main path to become eligible for UC admission is to become eligible in the "Statewide Context," which means you must satisfy certain subject, scholarship and examination requirements:
- The subject requirement is the course subjects you need to take ("a-g")
- The scholarship requirement is the required combination of GPA in "a-g" courses and college admission test scores
- The exmination requirement is the ACT Assessment plus Writing OR the SAT Reasoning Test, AND two SAT Subject Tests in two different subject area
You can learn more about our freshman admission requirements on our website at admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_adm_reqt.cfm. Please note, meeting the UC eligibility criteria qualifies you for admission to a UC campus, but does not guarantee admission to UC Davis.

Question: I will be graduating from high school in three years instead of four. Will this hurt my chances for admission to UC Davis?
Answer:
Each year the University of California accepts numerous early high school graduates. High school students who graduate early must still meet the UC minimum eligibility requirements to include completing all examination requirements prior to high school graduation. As long as you meet the minimum UC entrance requirements, you should be admitted somewhere in the UC system.
However, early graduation may create a slight disadvantage in the selection process, because you will only have one year to use in the a-g grade point average calculation, and you will have one year less to demonstrate academic and non-academic successes. UC campuses consider not only the strength of your academics, but also your personal accomplishments during high school which demonstrate leadership, special talents, creativity, tenacity, and response to life challenges. Early graduation also does not offer you the same opportunities to engage in a variety of a-g courses beyond the minimum, or to participate in multiple non-academic endeavors.
A word of caution, if you graduate early and complete any college course in a regular session (not summer session) you can only apply to the Univeristy of California as a transfer applicant. Any college coursework taken during high school is fine and you will be considered a first-time freshman applicant.
