<p>I think a quick glance at the 2007 accepted thread will show how “easy” it is for kids to get in to Cal with a 3.8 gpa. Most of the kids I know had at least 4.2 (UC GPA) or higher-and those were in-state. I hope those of you who say kids can get in with a 3.8 gpa are right, it will bode well for my son. I hope all who want in, get in. If the person who posted how easy it is to get in knows what the 3.8 kids are doing to get accepted, please share. I’d love to know.</p>
