good SAT lower GPA

<p>okay, my GPA is pretty low (comparatively) and im not even in the top 10% of my school.
sats: 780 math, 740 cr, 730 w.
i know my SATs aren't low -- hell, even i was surprised by them. but my gpa puts me at a pretty bad spot. 4.05 UC. thats not too bad, i know, but its still under the average gpa. i already applied, but i'm just curious. thanks</p>

<p>oh btw, low family income (fee waiver) and first generation college. thanks for the input. cali resident</p>

<p>I think your fine. As long as you don't have/don't have too many C's (which I doubt you have w/ that GPA) then I think your fine.</p>

<p>Haha-- 4.05 is not bad at all. At all. You are more than competitive as long as your essays were good.</p>

<p>By the title of your post, I thought you were going to have in the lower 3s. </p>

<p>You're going to be fine. One guy in my school got in last year with a 3.7 GPA.</p>

<p>lol sorry. i tried not to be like "OMG I HAVE A LOW GPA" because i knew there were people with lower grades... so i tried it with a little more tact :) but yeah thanks</p>

<p>I've got a situation very similar to yours: 4.05 GPA and 2230 SAT (710M, 720CR, 800W). I'm in the top 4%, which doesn't say much for my high school compared to yours. </p>

<p>Good luck to you, because I'll bet we share the same fate.</p>

<p>godspeed, mischas. hopefully we both get in :P</p>

<p>What is your major?</p>
