<p>hmm.
UCI - slight match/low reach my friend had a 2.7 gpa/1700 SATs and she got into UCI…
ucr/ucm/ucsc - IN.</p>

<p>2.7 gpa??!?!?! dont u need 3.0 to even apply to ucs?</p>

<p>whoever told you that you need 3.0?
UCR/UCM accept everyone.
ahhah no joke.</p>

<p>If you go to this site:</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>you’ll see that the second line on the page says:</p>

<p>“Beginning with fall 2007 applicants, the minimum GPA is 3.0 for California residents, 3.4 for nonresidents” (for application to the UCs).</p>

<p>And that’s a UC GPA—which is actually a weighted (but capped) GPA. So, yes you can apply with a 2.7 GPA if you took at least 4 yearlong AP courses and got all As in them–but that is unlikely to get you into UCI–more likely UCM, UCR, or possibly–if you are lucky–UCSC. (Note that your UC GPA would be right at 3.01 or so).</p>

<p>^^ that criterion is for scholarships, I think.</p>

<p>Generally, it’ll be harder to get into a UC with a GPA below a 3.00, as even UCR has a low percentage (8%, I think) of students with a GPA below that. But for you…</p>

<p>UCI/UCD/UCSB: slight reach - high match
UCR/UCM/UCSC: match - safe match</p>

<p>Your application is somewhat lopsided in that you have good test scores and okay ECs, but your GPA is a bit weak; as the UCs stress GPA the most, your chances are more difficult to gauge.</p>
