Which UC schools can I get into with a 4.43 gpa?

Hello. I am a junior in a private high school in Fresno, California. I was wondering if I could get some advice on which UC schools I could get into with my stats. Also I would like to know if there is any chance of me getting into an ivy. Thanks!

Only UCB and UCLA use the Fully weighted UC GPA so what is your capped weighted UC GPA?

Intended major?

All Ivy’s are Reaches and all are very different so which ones? SAT score would need to be at least 1400+ for any chance.

I calculated my gpa without freshman year and that was 4.43. I have received straight A’s all throughout high school. I would love to major in business or political science. @Gumbymom

There are only 3 UC’s that have Business schools: UCR/UCI and UCB so you would have to major in another Business related major at the other UC’s (Business econ, Econ or Managerial Econ). UCB Haas is not a direct admit, but UCI/UCR will admit Freshman into their Business school so if you want to pursue this major, something to think about.

You have an excellent GPA, good EC’s with Leadership so your SAT score will determine your chances at the top UC’s.

Other than UCB/UCLA which are always tough admits, you have a good chance at the rest of the UC’s.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 4.20 or above:

UCB: 42%
UCLA: 54%
UCSD: 87%
UCSB: 85%
UCD: 91%
UCI: 94%
UCR/UCM: 98%

Regarding Ivy League schools, apply to them knowing they are Reaches for every applicant but do some research since like I stated in the above post, they are all different and many not fit your agenda.

Actually for UCR, you would have to be admitted as a pre-business major. You must meet the course and GPA (around 2.75, but it might be higher now) requiremnts in your freshman and sophomore years in order to be admitted to the business school. It is a little like Haas, but Haas has a much higher GPA requirement and 1 year (2 semesters) of calculus instead of 1 quarter of calculus for UCR. For UCI’s business school, you can be admitted as a freshman, but it is very competitive.

If you are from California, you may have an easier time getting into Dartmouth, Penn, and Cornell over UCLA and UCB which are high reaches for everyone.

The capped UC gpa only includes 8 semesters of grade bumps for grades 10-11. With a 4.43 UC gpa that would mean you took less than 10 classes combined during 10 and 11 grade. The typical Capped UC GPA for a 4.0 uw is more around 4.2-4.3ish. Howver, If you’ve met the UC a-g requirements, your GPA is competitive at all the UCs.

@UCBUSCalum: Thank you for information about UCR’s Business major. Completely forgot they admit as a Pre-Business major and there is the additional hurdle of pre-req’s and GPA needed to get into the Business school.

you are welcome.

also, you have always provided a lot of great insights to high schoolers in their college applications…

Not to sound silly but, a 2.75 in the major isn’t the kind of hurdle I would worry about. If you aren’t meeting that level, you are probably in the wrong major. Since you want to study Biz, I’d also apply to CS SLO and SDSU.

Good luck

2.75 is probably the standard many years ago and it has not been updated to today’s competitive standards. I am guessing for UCR’s business school, it is now probably in the 3.3+ range. Many schools, including Haas, may list minimum GPA when in reality, the students getting admitted to business school have much high GPA’s.To get an idea of the GPA for admitted students, one would have see the current admitted class’ average profile.
