<p>UC system selectivity was recently discussed in this thread:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/497122-uc-schools.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/497122-uc-schools.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You can find out more at the UC website:</p>

<p>[University</a> of California - Campuses - The University of California campuses provide environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities, generating a wide range of public benefits and services.](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/welcome.html]University”>Campuses & locations | University of California)</p>

<p>For the most popular selective ones:</p>

<p>UCLA: avg. weighted GPA: 4.34. avg. unweighted GPA: 3.85. Avg. SAT: 1353(directly off current UCLA website)
UC Berkeley: avg. weighted GPA: 4.25, unweighted GPA 3.82. avg. SAT: 1337(out of 1600) (Directly off current Berkeley website)</p>

<p>Take into consideration that you are out-of-state, so chances are the GPA’s of admitted out-of-state students are a lot higher.</p>

<p>

Website: [Facts</a> at a glance - UC Berkeley](<a href=“By the numbers - University of California, Berkeley”>By the numbers - University of California, Berkeley)
Unweighted GPA = 3.87
SAT I average = 2034</p>

<p>The GPA numbers listed for the UC campuses in post #3 refer to a UC GPA.</p>

<p>To compute your UC GPA, go to this thread:</p>

<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/527903-uc-gpa.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/527903-uc-gpa.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>and read my post #7.</p>

<p>Also, be aware that your numbers will need to be better than what is posted above in #3 since you are out-of-state, and the numbers given for the UCs are the school averages. Since over 90% of all students are from in-state, the numbers are skewed accordingly.</p>

<p>Lastly, you need to realize that the more honors/AP/IB classes you take past the 8 semester limit, the more your overall UC GPA will fall if you are above the 4.0 number to begin with (this is because you can only get a 4.0 in those classes, but can get as much as a 5.0 in the first 8 semesters of honors classes). Recognize that the adcoms take this into account in determining who to admit to the campuses–and do not penalize those who take more difficult classes.</p>

9

<p>OP - both UC Berkeley and UCLA adcoms consider the same non-grade/SAT stuff that adcoms at any Top 30 school do – ECs, strength of curriculum, essays, etc., so just having a top half GPA/SAT does not give you enough information.</p>

<p>This website details the admissions data for each school. You will want to focus on GPA and 2 part SAT score in the menu selections.</p>

<p>As to the description of the UC System, and each of its nine schools (ten if you count UCSF), Wikipedia as usual comes to your aid:</p>

<p>Unless your family is willing to pay the $40k - 50k per year for a UC school, I wouldn’t bother to apply.</p>

<p>Is money a concern?</p>

<p>^ This thread is almost 2 years old…I think the OP has moved on…to MSU.</p>

<p>The question is why did DunninLA post two years apart on the same thread, in consecutive posts??</p>
