So what's a good college GPA at UCSB?

<p>What's a good college GPA at UCSB if you want to be competitive for the very good grad schools, med schools, law schools etc.? I understand this varies by major (i.e. engineering, physical sciences, math etc. will probably be lower than social sciences).</p>

<p>3.7 is around top 15%.</p>

<p>The average undergrad GPA is about 3.0 according to <a href=“http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/09-10/cp2009.pdf[/url]”>http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/09-10/cp2009.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Note that grad schools rely heavily not just on GPA but on standardized test scores (MCAT, LSAT, GRE) and recommendations.</p>
