UCs and Improvement in GPA

Applying to College
1

<p>So, for my sophomore year, I got a 3.0 unweighted (3.14w), then a 3.43uw (3.57w). For my junior year, I got a 3.66uw (4.33w) then a 3.5uw (4.17w). </p>

<p>Does the UC system look at this significant improvement in GPA (at least, weighted) and take it into serious consideration?</p>

<p>Also, do I have a decent chance at getting into UC Davis? (in terms of GPA of course)</p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>What is your UC GPA?</p>

<p>3.8 UC GPA.</p>

<p>Thank you for replying, but my main question is whether or not the improvement will count for much?</p>

<p>I know a 1.0 increase between sophomore and junior year earns points at UC Santa Cruz.</p>

<p>UC Davis lists
“Marked academic improvement in the 9th through 11th grades”

Looks like a 3.8 UC GPA gets a 48 percent admit rate.</p>

<p>Would you guess that the other UCs give points for improvement?</p>

<p>You have to look at each schools description of their review process. No comments like that on Santa Barbara’s.</p>
