<p>I got into UCLA with a 3.87 unweighted GPA and a 1890 SAT score. Got a supplementary application from UCB but ended up not getting in. You have a pretty good chance of getting in if you have the other components of a competitive application (solid ECs, volunteering, strong essay, etc.).</p>

<p>If you look at the charts linked to in post #7, about 1900 students were admitted to UCLA with weighted GPA's under 4.0, and about 1200 to Berkeley. I know a few who are in those groups, but they're all recruited athletes. They can't recruit that many athletes each year, though, so somebody with less than a 4.0 who's not an athlete must get admitted from time to time.</p>
