<p>I was randomly browsing through Collegeboard, and did that "college compare/match-up" thing... I searched UCB, and stumbled across the UW gpa statistics for 2008-2009 Fall admits:</p>
<p>" * 93% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher
* 3% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74
* 2% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49
* 1% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24
* 1% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 "</p>
<p>Now for most CC'ers this wouldn't frighten you...but it feels like a huge blow to me. I would fall in that 3% category, unfortunately. I knew UCB + UCLA emphasized gpa HEAVILY, but not THIS heavily ... :( The last gleam of hope has faded, my friends.</p>
<p>That drop from 3.75 to the next group below it seems a little drastic. I wouldn't let that scare you. I had an UW gpa of 3.68 if that makes you feel a little better :)</p>
<p>My UW GPA was also ~3.6.</p>
<p>doesn't berkeley use the UC gpa for admission..?</p>
<p>Your weighted GPA is much more important than your UW GPA. So along as your weighted is at least a 4.3, you'll probably be fine.</p>
<p>I know 4.3 is a little much, if you look at this:</p>
<p>University</a> of California - Admissions</p>
<p>It says the average high school GPA is 4.18. I assume that means a weighted UC GPA. Mine was around 3.9</p>
<p>^did you get in? i'm asking becuz my gpa is pretty much similar to yours (3.65 uw and 3.8 uc).</p>
<p>Well his location does say Berkeley '11...</p>
<p>oooh right. haha i'm such a tard.</p>
