anyone else doing engineering. I have a 3.6 but i got two Cs and an A in the calc series. ive aced everything else but calc is pretty big so idk how much they’d hold that agst me
@ricehappy10 I think you’re fine because its a hard major and your GPA is pretty high. What engineering are you doing I have a website that tells you what GPAs got into what major!
@ricehappy10 Lmk what it is and ill give u an exact range but for the most part, people admitted had a 2.90-3.63 but people that enrolled under the major has a 2.77-3.53 so regardless I think you’re fine.
@AndrewH90 mechanical. The reason why im concerned is bc when i met with the counselor for uci, there was a distinction between your gpa overall and your gpa for major prep courses, so while i do have a 3.6, the calculated just above a 3.0 for my engineering gpa. For ucr, they want you to average a 2.5 in the calculus series as a mech eng, and i sit at a 2.67. So while i’m above the threshold, i feel like there’s too many people that did way better for them to consider mine at all.
So I tagged uci and got approved bc of reaching the 3.4 req overall but i never knew it was by the skin of my teeth because then they made a gpa accounting only for major prep and if i was anything lower than a 3.0, then my overall application would be futile. I sat right at a 3.0 at the time of application but it’s def gone up since then. Still it hurts for them to see those calculus grades bc i hadnt matured my first semester and completely dropped the ball. Since then ive worked my way up from a 2.3
I’d say you don’t even need to worry cuz they’ll see that improvement and be impressed, so if anything it makes you a stronger applicant than you think.
Ok so I didn’t see the first comment but I think you’re fine for UCR because for mechanical last year they accepted people with 2.77-3.48 overall GPAs.
@ricehappy10 How did you hear back from Irvine? They haven’t released anything yet
@KeepItCool only my tag was approved my admissions decision hasnt come in yet. The gpa stuff is just what i learned when a rep came to my cc and analyzed the trends in my grades for me to prepare my application more thoroughly
I tagged uci too but I haven’t heard anything or read anything on the uci thread. When did you get notified?
ACCEPTED!! ENGLISH MAJOR 3.3 GPA 3:54PM PST
@ricehappy10 I think all you got was notification that they received the TAG.
