Hello. I am looking for the average UC calculated GPA for UCSB admits. I have a 3.8 UC GPA, how does that compare to the average?
Thank you.
Here are the averages from last year 2014. Stats for this year are not available. You are below the average for UCSB.
Much will depend upon intended major, also test scores, EC’s and essays, so you cannot gauge your chances just on GPA. The rule of thumb for the UC’s is that GPA is weighed the heaviest followed by test scores and course rigor.
High School GPA
4.03
ACT Composite Score
29
SAT Critical Reading
623
SAT Mathematics
662
SAT Writing
640
Here’s a link to UCSB’s detailed freshman profile, with admit rates for each factor:
