<p>i was wondering what is the competitive G.P.A.?</p>
<p>competitive for what</p>
<p>To get into Irvine, UC GPA of 3.6+, but that is entirely dependent on your other stuff as well, such as your SAT.</p>
<p>oh sorry, i was wondering what is a good competitive GPA for freshman, like above 3.6? i just finished my first semester and i got a 3.767, is that like… good or just average?</p>
<p>First semester in high school? As others have said if you have over a 3.6 you’re giving yourself a decent shot at getting in.</p>
<p>Freshman year of high school or incoming freshman? If its the former, then those grades will not be considered when calculating the UC GPA.</p>
<p>oh freshman year of college.</p>
<p>3.8 is good i guess.</p>
<p>totally depends on what you want to do after college though (and major).</p>
<p>oh thanks shoe factory, my major is business econ and i want to intern soon at some financial company. whats the optimum gpa i should have?</p>
<p>what should the SAT score be around? 1800+?</p>
<p>if you wanna get into UC irvine, your SAT should be above 1900. just to be safe tho, get like a 2100+, then you’ll be a shoe-in.</p>
<p>SATs should be above 1700 to be competitive. But that has to come with at least a 3.7+ UC GPA. To be a shoe in, anything above 2000 and 3.7 should be considered a match/safe match.</p>
<p>are ECs a big part of admissions?</p>
<p>i personally think it depends on what kind of grades you have. if you have strong GPA and SAT plus a good essay, they won’t matter as much. but if everything is about average, then a lot of EC’s will matter.</p>
