UCLA and UCB are very GPA focused but you would need an overall competitive application which includes high test scores, interesting EC’s and essays. Consider both schools as Reach schools even with a stellar application.

UC’s only consider 10-11th grades in their GPA calculation and have their own weighting system. Here is the UC GPA calculator: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

An upward grade trend will be noted, but already see a couple of B’s and a C which will definitely impact your UC GPA.

Please post your Uw UC GPA, Capped weighted UC GPA and Fully weighted UC GPA at the end of Junior year. Freshman grades will be reviewed to determine a-g course eligibility and Senior grades will not be considered but in-progress and planned courses will be determine your course rigor.

If you are not a CA resident, then only AP/IB courses taken 10-11th will be weighted with the extra honors points in the calculation. Also be aware, if you are OOS the UC’s give little to no financial aid so expect full fees at $65K/year. Make sure before considering these schools and applying they are affordable.
