Notes
A FE exam required for only 2 (Civil, Mechanical) of College of Engineering's 7 majors. Others may take it, but it is of little or no professional consequence for them.
B Scores available only for students who designate UCB as their undergrad institution on their test form. There is no requirement for them to do so, and it is not known what percentage do.
C The MCAT Writing Sample is scored on an 11-point letter scale from J to T. O is the 50th percentile. UCB's score is one letter higher than the national median.
