Why is UCLA so selective?

<p>Darthpwner - When you look at the facts below released by UCLA recently, I had to take a second look at the average weighted GPA… I think that explains one of many reasons why its hard to get in.</p>

<p>“The average admitted applicant to UCLA for the Fall Quarter 2013 had a weighted GPA (a GPA that includes all extra grade points for honors or AP coursework) of 4.41, an unweighted GPA (no extra points) of 3.89”</p>
