@Gumbymom what are your sources for the GPA stats? Care to attach a link? Also, I am positive that the 25th SAT for UCSB is 1210 and not 1290. Please correct that as you are misinforming people with false information.

It appears that UC has not yet updated this for last year’s applicants for this year’s 2017/18 school year.

UC’s have not posted the UC GPA admit data for 2017 but based on the UC Freshman profiles and the UC GPA historical data, the GPA admit range %’s will be similar. The test scores ranges are based on the 2017 numbers posted on the UC website listed out for a better comparison.
@ucbalumnus could give you a link to the historical UC GPA admit rates.
