What if my home schooled student does not meet the Eligibility by Examination Alone criteria? Is there another path to UC admissions?
Yes. Students who do not meet the Eligibility by Examination Alone criteria in order to become statewide eligible (to all UC campuses), may still apply to the University and hope to be admitted by exception. To do so, students should do everything possible to demonstrate subject matter competency in each of the “a-g” subject areas by taking SAT II subject area exams and/or community college courses. They should also take the SAT Reasoning or ACT exam. In their applications, students should demonstrate other skills and strengths, whether in leadership, community service, athletics, the arts, or other areas.
