<p>Wow, you SATs are amazing. I would say you stand a pretty good chance your GPA can be made up with your ECs and test scores. :)</p>

3

<p>You’re fine.</p>

4

<p>Are you seriously asking this? A 3.58 is right on par with Davis admits, isn’t it? And you already know how a 2360 compares…Come on.</p>

5

<p>er… average UC GPA for admits is actually 4.0.</p>

<p>But anyway, you should be good.</p>

6

<p>But he said it was his UW GPA, not his UC GPA…Though I guess a 3.77 weighted would be like a 3.5 UC GPA? I don’t know; just guessing…My weighted GPA is a 4.6 but my UC GPA is a 4.33, so…</p>

7

<p>Actually, what I meant with UW/W GPA was my UC GPA and my UC GPA with the honors credit, sorry for not clarifying that. My UW GPA from Freshman year is probably down at at the 3.3-3.4 range :(</p>

8

<p>bump anyone?</p>

<p>UC GPA only counts eight semesters of honors credit, so that’s probably why it’s lower.</p>

<p>If your GPA shows an upward trend, you’ll get points for it. I believe they focus more on your grades and classes from sophomore and junior year anyway.</p>
