i had like 4.3 gpa at my HS but it became a 3.85 for UC

so make sure you are calculating it correctly, not all honors courses are accepted by UCs...

i got in with no real community service and like a single extra curricular; i wonder if would have gotten in if I hadn't ELC

1880 SAT

I had somewhere around a 3.8 gpa and an 1840 sat.. you're not far off, just nail your app essays and have a solid 7th semester

^i agree.

Write good essays. that will help u.

My GPA was like 3.8 (w) when I applied (took only 2 AP's, both in my senior year). and my SAT was 1750 i think. my EC's were 50 hours of community service and piano lol... I believe I got in because of my essays, but my case was a bit unusual because i went to schools in different countries. but still, work on your essays =) and take hard classes.

Wait is that your UC GPA?? cuz if thats just a weighted GPA then your UC could be lower.

Average admitted was around a 3.92 translating well over 4.0 weighted for the 5.0 scale.

Thats my weighted UC GPA.. I have a really good essay, and a really good story.
