<p>Little Background about me- I am a senior in high school and UCSB in my #1 choice but im having a hard time interpreting their stats. </p>

<p>UC</a> California freshman admissions for Fall 2009 - University of California Office of the President</p>

<p>This Says UCSB has an average GPA of a 4.10 weighted with no limit of how many AP/H classes someone has taken, as well as an average of a 3.92 for matriculated students</p>

<p>UC</a> California freshman admissions for Fall 2009 - University of California Office of the President</p>

<p>Now this says UCSB has a 4.01 average GPA taking into account the 8 semester limit of AP/H classes</p>

<p>Which brings me to my question:
I have a 3.9 weighted GPA, but a 3.55 GPA UC GPA. Should I be worried about the .35 GPA Gap between weighted and UC GPA when on average the difference is only about .10 GPA? Im not asking whether 3.55 is good or not, I know it isnt, im just talking about the .35 gap that i have vs the average of a .1 Gap </p>

<p>another question: Why does one link show a 45.5% acceptance rate (21257/46719) and the other shows a 41.7% acceptance rate (17744/42542). Which one is right and why is there a difference of a couple thousand?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>the link above was suppose to be the first link</p>

<p>For your second question, the smaller number is California applicants only while the larger number is all applicants.</p>

<p>That seems impossible because that would mean that the out of state and international acceptance rate is 3513/4177=84%</p>
