<p>Well the average GPA range is high but it’s more predictable for UC’s and other top public schools to admit based on high GPA’s than Ivies or top Private schools that tend to emphasize more on extracurriculars and the essays. I would say if you had at least the GPA you described and a 2100 or higher on the SAT, you’re pretty much guaranteed for UCLA, even for Engineering. When I say UCLA isn’t that hard to get in, I’m comparing it with the HYPSM-caliber schools xP</p>
