@thomasc12 What major?

3

you are a well qualified applicant but, those are really selective schools. I’d say your chances are 40/60 at best for both.

Hopefully you applied briadly.

good luck.

4

Mathematics.

5

I applied to Davis, UCSD, and UCI too. Do you think I got a good chance for those?

6

I’d say an even coin toss for UCSD and probably 60/40 in your favor for the others.

At least one is likely to take you None of them should be considered a Safety. UCR or SDSU would be almost certain admits.

This will give you admit rate by GPA band for each UC.

Again, good luck.

7

Your GPA looks off…Is that 3.75 unweighted or weighted?

8

3.75 unweighted

9

I mean to type 3.75 unweighted, 4.19 weighted.

10

Ok, then the 4.19 is your weighted capped GPA (and uncapped 4.6+).
Impressive you took so many DE courses. But why so many? Limited options at your school? Best of luck to you.

11

I calculated gpa just for 10th and 11th grade.

Weighted and Capped: 3.97
Weighted and Uncapped: 4.19
Unweighted: 3.75

I took so many DE cause my school is a dual enrollment school so there are no AP courses. My school is on a community college campus, which is why I took so many. Do you think my GPA is competitive?

12

Here is some 2020 admit data.

2020 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific:

UCB: 14%

UCLA: 8%

UCSD: 39%

UCSB: 40%

UCD: 55%

UCI: 38%

UCSC: 82%

UCR: 90%

UCM: 97%

2020 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:

UCB: 4.22 (4.13-4.30)

UCLA: 4.25 (4.18-4.31)

UCSD: 4.16 (4.04-4.28)

UCSB: 4.15 (4.03-4.27)

UCI: 4.11 (3.96-4.26)

UCD: 4.11 (3.97-4.25)

UCSC: 3.94 (3.71-4.16)

UCR: 3.88 (3.65-4.11)

UCM: 3.68 (3.40-3.96)

13

Does capped weighted include 9th grade?

14

No, the UC GPA’s are only 10-11th grades.

15

It seems like my capped gpa is far below the lines for where I applied :confused:

16

Remember these are ranges so being on the higher end of range increases your chances.

17

I thought UC’s use uncapped when reviewing your application.

18

They look at all 3.

19

What do you think my chances are holistically with the other information on my post? Am I competitive for Berkeley or UCLA or at the least Davis?

20

You are competitive for all the UC’s but UCLA and UCB are Reach schools regardless. UCI, UCD and UCSD are more likely.
