<p>it says that UCLA's avg admit GPA = 4.12 while on the prospective freshman profile 2006 on the UCLA's site says 4.27? Which one should I trust?</p>

<p>UCLA site: <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof06.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/Frosh_Prof06.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The average UC GPA is 4.12.
The average fully-weighted GPA is 4.27.</p>

<p>You can trust both figures. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>^ I don't ... but I don't trust Cal either... i'm happy to be a Cal Bear.. but come on... you would tweak the stats too to make the school look better. I'm happy we do that because that just helps those of us who attend seem "elite".... OK... we're not... but it's nice to pretend.</p>

<p>a Cal bear? go away. </p>

<p>(i'm just jealous)</p>

<p>Admit rates and prospective freshmen GPA measure different pools of freshmen I think.</p>

<p>Admit rates GPA measures the applicants that were admitted into UCLA, whereas prospective freshmen measures those that actually SIR-ed/going to UCLA.</p>

<p>That's just what I always thought it was.</p>

<p>^^ i don't think so b/c the prospective freshmen thing was from before people submitted their SIRs. Flopsy is right it says capped on the UC site and fully weighted GPA on the UCLA site.</p>
