Does anyone know if UCR publishes data on the GPA ranges of admitted freshman by major? I know that they publish ranges for the university as a whole, but I’m trying to figure out if it varies much between majors. Thanks!
I have not been able to find the GPA admit data by major only the admit rates.
I am positive it varies by major with CS/Engineering being on the high end of the UC GPA admit range.

That’s what I assumed. Engineering and CS have lower admission rates, so it would make sense if they had higher average GPAs.
My son is interested in history or political science, and has a 3.8 UC GPA. Just trying to figure out if this gets him within striking distance.
The UCR Capped weighted admit range for 2024 Freshman was 3.66-4.15 so he is within range for the campus. I would say a Target school based on major admit rate of 78.6% and GPA.

Not GPA but you can see the #applicants and admission rate for majors here.

Thank you, this is very helpful!
Under Institutional Research, UCR publishes very detailed admissions information. Specifically, applicants/admits by major.
Do you know if all UCs are required to publish the same data? I can find it for some (UCI) but not others.
No, publishing the data is not required. I have not been unable to find similar data for UC San Diego, UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara.
