Entry level writing requirement results

All students who will enter the University of California as freshmen must fulfill the Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR). Students can fulfill the ELWR by achieving certain scores on the SAT Evidence Based Reading and Writing (EBRW), ACT Writing, AP English, or IB English test, completing a UC-transferable college English composition courses or by following their campus’s instructions for meeting ELWR.

See more information on the ELWR.

Counties and schools with fewer than ten students who met the ELWR requirements are combined into an "Other" row within each county, e.g., "OTH ALAMEDA COUNTY." Cells representing fewer than ten students meeting the ELWR requirement or fewer than three students taking the AWPE have been redacted.
