How is a 2040 low?
I got in to UCLA with a 3.4 UC and a 1670 SAT. I got a supplemental though.
I got accepted to UCSC and somehow UCI with a 3.77 GPA and 1510 SAT. I didn’t think I would get into UCI because I had literally no extracurriculars and my SAT scores were low, but anything is possible.
Got into all the UCs I applied to so far (still waiting for Berkeley right now, though).
Accepted: UCSD, UC Davis, UCSB, UCI, UCLA (…hopefully Berkeley) -in state student-
Major: Business Economics
SAT: 1790 (I didn’t bother to open the book until the day before the test, LOL…Probably should have though :/)
ACT: 23 (Didn’t bother with studying for this one either…)
AP Courses: Welllllll…I’ve taken 9 up until this point (5 right now for senior year), and have passed all the exams I have taken so far.
College Courses: I took Psychology classes with a local community college as a sophomore and got an A both semesters.
GPA (unweighted): 4.0 ; GPA (weighted) : 4.6
UC GPA: 3.92
ECs: Okay, gotta admit, I think I did pretty well with this (I was always volunteering somewhere…ALWAYS)
Essays: I was complimented on my essays by all of my English teachers and the AVID teachers. So… I guess they were good.

Got accepted to UCI with a 3.1 (UW) and 3.3 (W) GPA! + 1540 SAT / 24 ACT score. I also had two D’s and a lot of C’s, yikes. But I received a supplemental, had a great personal statement, and founded a non-profit organization, so I guess that helped!
I got into Cal, UC Davis, UCR, and UCI with an SAT of 1820 and an academic GPA of 4.57
One of my personal statements was about an exclusive scholarship I was part of for all 4 years of high school.

decent essays, a few sports and activities
Accepted to UCSD Mathematics and Berkeley Letters and Science
Rejected from UCLA engineering
@funnylovesz I know the question wasn’t directed towards me, but i will answer it anyway. The supplement was sent out around late January up until late February to about 6% of applicants from each university. It allowed the admissions officers to learn more about certain favorable qualities that may have been mentiined in the personal statements. From uci and ucla, they came in 3 forms: talent, disability/hardship, and borderline. Applicants were sent a combination of 2 questions which we were to answer in essay form. It was basically a second chance for students to give the university a reason to admit them.
I got in everywhere but Berkeley with a 30 ACT and 1860 SAT. 4.25 uc gpa. I got into UCLA off a supplemental
Why are you guys even commenting on this thread if you have a 4.0+ UC weighted GPA?
This thread is about ‘lowest accepted gpa & sat stories to theh UC’s’.
@StanfordSwag That’s what i was wondering lol. Maybe i shouldn’t have posted because i had a 2040 sat, but i think that my 3.23 uc gpa can inspire some people nonetheless.
