First of all, if you got a 2400 on the SAT…WOW. Congratulations.

But if that’s what you’re shooting for, then realize this: It will be nearly impossible for you to do so.

With that said, I think you should probably not dip below a 3.7 UCGPA with a 2400, or any high score. When many colleges see an applicant with high standardized test scores and low GPA, they tend to view the applicant as lazy, underreaching their potential. UCLA seems to put a larger weight on GPA than test scores as well.

But I really believe that a killer essay can push ANY applicant over the top. Especially one with a 2400 on the SAT.
