Hello! Current first quarter student here. In my opinion, I prefer the newer point system because it gave me a bigger chance at being accepted whereas with the old one, I was missing volunteering hours so I was short 10 points from their cut off. I believe I got in with 106 points? And I think the lowest was around 102?
I did hear Spring quarter usually has a lower cut off compared to fall and Winter, though. The safest is to make sure you have at least 100 points.
