WishWash

I'm a junior-to-be from Minnesota.. and have been looking into the UC's.

Can someone PLEASE list out all of the UC's and what the general qualifications for GPA and ACT/SAT are to get in?

I've been trying to do it on my own... but the websites aren't detailed.

Thank you SOO much.

It includes information about each campus and about admission and application policies and procedures.

For the most popular selective ones:

UCLA: avg. weighted GPA: 4.34. avg. unweighted GPA: 3.85. Avg. SAT: 1353(directly off current UCLA website)
UC Berkeley: avg. weighted GPA: 4.25, unweighted GPA 3.82. avg. SAT: 1337(out of 1600) (Directly off current Berkeley website)

Take into consideration that you are out-of-state, so chances are the GPA's of admitted out-of-state students are a lot higher.

UC system selectivity was recently discussed in this thread:

You can find out more at the UC website:

University of California - Campuses - The University of California campuses provide environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities, generating a wide range of public benefits and services.

The GPA numbers listed for the UC campuses in post #3 refer to a UC GPA.

To compute your UC GPA, go to this thread:

Uc Gpa?

and read my post #7.

Also, be aware that your numbers will need to be better than what is posted above in #3 since you are out-of-state, and the numbers given for the UCs are the school averages. Since over 90% of all students are from in-state, the numbers are skewed accordingly.

Lastly, you need to realize that the more honors/AP/IB classes you take past the 8 semester limit, the more your overall UC GPA will fall if you are above the 4.0 number to begin with (this is because you can only get a 4.0 in those classes, but can get as much as a 5.0 in the first 8 semesters of honors classes). Recognize that the adcoms take this into account in determining who to admit to the campuses--and do not penalize those who take more difficult classes.

OP - both UC Berkeley and UCLA adcoms consider the same non-grade/SAT stuff that adcoms at any Top 30 school do -- ECs, strength of curriculum, essays, etc., so just having a top half GPA/SAT does not give you enough information.
