From Freshman admission by discipline | University of California , admission information for frosh entering fall 2023:
| Campus | Broad discipline | Admit GPA range | Admit rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCI | Life sciences | 4.12-4.29 | 32% |
| UCSD | Life sciences | 4.13-4.29 | 33% |
| UCSB | Life sciences | 4.14-4.29 | 34% |
Admit GPA range is 25th to 75th percentile.
UCD, UCM, UCR, and UCSC were less difficult to get admitted to than the above three.

thank you for the info. what do you think i should be doing right now to maximize my chances of getting into these 3 schools
There’s really only a few things you can control at this point: keep your grades up for the rest of the year; study for your APs (although I’m not sure how much weight they’re given); and start working on your PIQs early. Best of luck!
