So I just determined my UC GPA, from 10th and 11th grade only, and I am surprised by the outcome. Is a UC GPA of 3.65 average or below the average? I’ll be a senior this upcoming year. My weighted high school GPA is 4.1 and my unweighted HS GPA is 4.01, will my HS GPA count or be seen the admission offices?
I mean I really want to get into UCI or UC Berkeley or UCSD. But I don’t know if this GPA is enough.
Average UC GPA for:
UCI: 4.03
UCB: 4.18
UCSD: 4.13
You self-report all your grades including Freshman year on your application. Your UC GPA is below average for all the UC’s except UC Merced which was 3.62 last year. Did you use the UC GPA calculator and include up to 8 semesters of AP/UC approved Honors or IB classes? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
Your weighted GPA off your HS transcripts are usually not accurate since each HS weights classes differently. If applying to the UC’s, then use the GPA calculator.
Your admissions will not only be based on GPA (although probably the most important) but Test scores, essays, HS course rigor and EC’s. Your UC GPA is low for the majority of the schools, but if you have competitive test scores, excellent EC’s with leadership and write some great essays, it is possible to get into some higher tier UC’s.
How many class with A? How many class with B? How many qualified honors and AP?
