<p>Pinoiako916, when I researched the various gpas at UCLA for competitiveness (just for kicks) I was truly surprised that there were quite a few fields that were so competitive.</p>
<p>natjan, true! I feel lucky, myself, even in engineering (for UCLA at least) my particular branch of engineering (Electrical) is one the least competitive of all the specialties within engineering!</p>
<p>victor5555- at least I know that my GPA 3.84 overall is above the average for psych for Cal and UCLA. UCLA is a 3.78 and 3.80 for Cal.</p>
<p>accepted to ucsc and ucsd so far
waiting for the rest…</p>
<p>Pinoiako, how do you know the avg gpa for Cal? I thought they don’t release those kind of numbers.</p>

<p>@Victor - The UCLA adcom I know says they have to take applications at face value. They won’t assume anything is false unless a story contradicts. Then they ask for some kind of verification. Also, he said the hardships can make or break a borderline candidate. Although, my Cal TAP advisor put a lot more emphasis on hardships being helpful. </p>
<p>I’m a great example of a below average (gpa wise) applicant, who has had several hardships that are unique. I’m also first generation. So once the LA and Cal decisions come out we could make some assumptions off whether I am accepted or not. </p>
<p>Sorry about spelling/grammar. Using my phone.</p>
<p>So in a week and a half ucla decisions come out?</p>
<p>Hopefully! It’s not confirmed in their site tho. I’m hoping for a week from tomorrow.</p>
<p>Is UCLA your first choice ella89?</p>
<p>@Pinoiako916 My Overall is 3.6+. but my transferable GPA is 3.7+.</p>
<p>What is your alternate major for UCLA hellog?</p>
<p>@Pinoiako916 Anthropology, but if i decide to attend. I will try to switch or double into math econ.</p>
<p>@HelloG Econ for UCLA seems unlikely. How many pre-reqs did you complete for Anthro?</p>
<p>hellog- you have a better shot at anthro</p>
<p>yeah I know… Econ is no go. But do you think Im good for anthro tho?</p>
<p>@Pinoiako- yeah UCLA is my first choice.</p>
<p>@HelloG.
All of them, all A’s too. Any chance at UCB tho?</p>
