My chances of getting into college Class of 2022

Just more information and stats for the UC’s and Cal states to help you better understand and target schools that would fit you.

For the Cal states, this link gives a GPA and test score summary for admitted students along with links for each campus to explain impaction and Freshman requirements:
The CSU GPA is the UC capped weighted GPA. Cal poly SLO is the only CSU that includes 9-11th grades in their GPA calculation.

All Cal states admit by major so major choice can impact your chances.

Here is the link for transfers: https://www2.calstate.edu/attend/counselor-resources/Documents/transfer-2019-admission-impaction-chart.pdf

For the UC’s, this data can be found on the UC website but I have listed in a more readable form.
2020 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:
UCB: 4.22 (4.13-4.30)
UCLA: 4.25 (4.18-4.31)
UCSD: 4.16 (4.04-4.28)
UCSB: 4.15 (4.03-4.27)
UCI: 4.11 (3.96-4.26)
UCD: 4.11 (3.97-4.25)
UCSC: 3.94 (3.71-4.16)
UCR: 3.88 (3.65-4.11)
UCM: 3.68 (3.40-3.96)

2020 Data:
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT totals:

UCB: 1320-1560
UCLA: 1350-1550
UCSD: 1310-1520
UCSB: 1290-1510
UCD: 1230-1490
UCI: 1280-1510
UCSC: 1170-1440
UCR: 1110-1380
UCM: 980-1260

25th - 75th percentiles for ACT composite + language arts
UCB: 29-35
UCLA: 31-35
UCSD: 29-34
UCSB: 28-34
UCD: 26-33
UCI: 27-34
UCSC: 24-32
UCR: 21-31
UCM: 18-27

Again major can impact your chances with the UC’s but it depends on each campus and type of major. Some majors are direct admit, some you will be admitted by college and some UC’s admit into the University first and then into the major. Several campuses consider alternate majors also.
