<p>any other ideas?</p>
<p>They are not going to tell you what GPA you should maintain. Ever. Think about it. Just be consistent with your work! That was mentioned to me in a TAP meeting. In other words, no one is going to tell you "get a 3.53476674468+ or you'll get rescinded!!!" </p>
<p>If you REALLY want a number though, in my opinion, try for at least all B's and one A. That's what I would do. Just because I wouldn't want to get all elated from an acceptance only to figure out that I naively tried to feel the wiggle room out and accidentally wiggled a little too much. Come on, it's UCB and UCLA.</p>
