<p>hmm.
UCI - slight match/low reach my friend had a 2.7 gpa/1700 SATs and she got into UCI..
ucr/ucm/ucsc - IN.</p>

<p>2.7 gpa??!?!?! dont u need 3.0 to even apply to ucs?</p>

<p>whoever told you that you need 3.0?
UCR/UCM accept everyone.
ahhah no joke.</p>

<p>If you go to this site:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>you'll see that the second line on the page says:</p>

<p>"Beginning with fall 2007 applicants, the minimum GPA is 3.0 for California residents, 3.4 for nonresidents" (for application to the UCs).</p>

<p>And that's a UC GPA---which is actually a weighted (but capped) GPA. So, yes you can apply with a 2.7 GPA if you took at least 4 yearlong AP courses and got all As in them--but that is unlikely to get you into UCI--more likely UCM, UCR, or possibly--if you are lucky--UCSC. (Note that your UC GPA would be right at 3.01 or so).</p>

<p>^^ that criterion is for scholarships, I think.</p>

<p>Generally, it'll be harder to get into a UC with a GPA below a 3.00, as even UCR has a low percentage (8%, I think) of students with a GPA below that. But for you...</p>

<p>UCI/UCD/UCSB: slight reach - high match
UCR/UCM/UCSC: match - safe match</p>

<p>Your application is somewhat lopsided in that you have good test scores and okay ECs, but your GPA is a bit weak; as the UCs stress GPA the most, your chances are more difficult to gauge.</p>
