If your cumulative grade point average reported on the general UC application was a 3.5 or above, but your SAT score was below 2100, you can still apply to the UHP. Your application will be considered by the UHP Admission Committee. If there is any chance that UCR will become your first choice, you should apply to the University Honors Program. Your application to Honors does not bind you to UCR, but hopefully becomes a significant reason for submitting your intent to register to our campus.

We are under no requirement to maintain these scores, but do so as a convenience to the students.
