<p>I have a 4.19 UC GPA and I am OOS. </p>
<p>Is a 4.19 UC GPA bad for UC Berkley if im OOS?</p>
<p>What kind of SAT scores should I have in order to be a very competitive applicant?</p>
<p>Also, if I take the ACT with writing do I have to take Subject Tests? (sorry if that's a dumb question but I really have no idea with the UCs)</p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>pretty sure you have to take SATIIs either way, and they should usually have relevance to the college youre interested in (esp engineering)</p>

<p>go to the berkeley website for more specific/better information ([University</a> of California, Berkeley](<a href=“http://berkeley.edu/]University”>http://berkeley.edu/))</p>
<p>what is oos?</p>
<p>oos is an abbreviation for an out-of-state student.</p>
<p>Thank you for the info.</p>
<p>I don’t see anything specifically regarding UC GPA in regards to Berkley. Does anyone have insight as to what is a rough median UC GPA for getting into Berkley?</p>
<p>The median is around 4.25. give or take .03’ish but it is definitely within 4.21-4.29.</p>
<p>is that for OOS? I’m at a 4.19 and OOS :(</p>
<p>Keep in mind the capped UC GPA as people interpret it on this board is only used for eligibility. </p>
<p>Fully uncapped is what is considered by competative UCs such as Berkeley when they actually evaluate your app.</p>
<p>thanks t0m04k1</p>
<p>How do you calculate uncapped UC GPA?</p>
<p>^It’s your normal weighted GPA. And I didn’t even know Berkeley did that, I thought they looked at the UC Weighted</p>
<p>Yeah, the “UC weighted” is quite meaningless except for the lower tier UCs. Essentially, as long as you have the minimum a-g courses, you shouldn’t even worry about cap; remember, that’s for eligibility only.</p>
