<p>You hear a lot about how the holistic admissions criteria make it so that there is no defined GPA cutoff but clearly, we all know there is one point where one really shouldn't bother applying since regardless of how amazing their essays, recommendations, and ECs might be.</p>

<p>What is that point. A gpa of 2.0 of course falls into that category but I'm referring to the upper limit. For this institution, and for TRANSFER students, at one point does a GPA void an application from any serious consideration?</p>

<p>I don't know about for transfer students, but I got in SCEA with a 3.4 uw/ 3.9 weighted. However, I had basically everything else going for me, in addition to going to a very competitive public high school. For a transfer student I would advise at least 3.8...it's very competitive.</p>
