Hi all, just prepping my apps here and wondering what the average GPA at UCLA is? I'm hoping my 3.8 GPA is competitive enough, or should I be worried? Thanks in advance for any insights!
Hi! you're 3.8 GPA would be below the 25th percentile for admitted students as an unweighted GPA and far below the 25th percentile as a weighted GPA.
As of the most recent data availability, UCLA's middle 50% unweighted GPA for admitted students is 3.95-4.00, with a median unweighted GPA of 4.00. And the middle 50% weighted GPA (uncapped) for admitted students is 4.37-4.74, with a median weighted GPA of 4.57.
While UCLA puts a lot of emphasis on GPA it's not the only factor they consider as part of the admission's process. Things like course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, etc. also play a significant part in the decision-making process. Hence, continue to work on your application holistically, emphasizing your strengths and unique perspectives.
Best of luck with your application!
