Hi all! I'm trying to figure out if my GPA fits within the range of admitted students at UCLA. Does anyone know what the average GPA is for UCLA applicants or what minimum GPA they're looking for? Thank you so much!
Hi there! UCLA is a highly competitive school, and the GPA range for admitted students tends to be quite high. For the most recent admitted class (Fall 2023), the average unweighted GPA was around 4.00, with a middle 50% range of 3.95 to 4.00. Additionally, the middle 50% range of admitted students' weighted GPAs fell between 4.37 and 4.74.
However, it's essential to remember that UCLA practices holistic admissions, so GPA is not the only factor they consider in the application process. While having a strong GPA can improve your chances, it will be considered alongside your essays, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and other factors. If your GPA is not within the range of admitted students, you still have an opportunity to shine through other aspects of your application.
Additionally, keep in mind that these are just statistics of the past admitted students, and there is no officially stated minimum GPA requirement.
Best of luck with your application!
