<p>How much does it really matter in UC Berkeley admissions? And how bout other UC's?</p>

2

<p>GPA matters to Berkeley, you need at least a 4.2 out of HS. As far as the othe UC's UCLA is about the same as Berkeley where in UCSD you need about a 4.0.</p>

3

<p>Is that a joke? ^</p>

<p>Your entire application is accounted for. GPA is a significant part of it, but there is no upper tier cutoff.</p>

4

<p>sorry but i go to berkeley and i dont know anyone (besides sports players) who got in with lower than a 4.2. Yah your EC's are important and so are your essays but your GPA is definetly the most important. Sorry...</p>

<p>Wow. There is no cutoff. I can't believe you would even say that.</p>

6

<p>my UC GPA = 3.95, not an athlete, and I was admitted to eecs.</p>

7

<p>Lomeg knows everyone in Berkeley so....</p>

8

<p>To OP: GPA matters a lot. I got in with 3.8 UC GPA (no special stuff). Don't expect another miracle like that in the next few years.</p>

<p>"UC GPA" refers to the GPA you get at Berkeley.</p>

10

<p>all these GPAs you guys are saying you had, are these UC GPAs, or Weighted GPA?</p>

11

<p>go to community college and then transfer. so much easier but heck, what do i know, im still at a community college applying to UCB and UCLA for fall 2007</p>

12

<p>smith...great idea. I honestly wish I had transferred rather than came as a freshman. Then my undergrad GPA wouldn't be so screwed for graduate admissions.</p>

<p>Anyway, the GPA cut off is about 3.9/4.0 unweighted for UCLA and Berkeley out of high school, so i agree with the previous posters.</p>

13

<p>My son was admitted and offered an interview for Regents/Chancellors with a 3.8 weighted GPA out of high school. (He choose Caltech over UCB so he didn't do the interview). UC knows that an A at one high school is not the same as an A at another high school. He attends a very rigours high schol. Though I'm sure it helped that in his senior year he was also taking classes at UCB through concurrent enrollment.</p>

<p>The UCGPA we are discussing in this thread alludes to your high school GPA after it has been weighted by the UC weighting system.</p>

<p>No it's not. Didn't we say that there's no cutoff? There are plenty of people with lower than 3.9 uw gpa who get in. (actually I think the average uw GPA is around a 3.8)</p>

15

<p>I don't think gpa is the main factor since so many people have uw gpa's of 3.8s and above.</p>

<p>ok, wouldn't u rather encourage this person to do better GPAwise?</p>

<p>Honestly, a 3.9+ in high school isn't that hard to achieve and aiming higher is always better considering the UCs seem to consider GPA first in their evaluations process</p>
