Hello folks, I'm aiming for University of California, San Diego and I'm wondering what the average admitted student's GPA looks like. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could give me some information. Thanks!
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is fairly competitive when it comes to GPA. At UCSD, the middle 50% of admitted students for Fall 2021 had a cumulative weighted GPA of 4.03 - 4.28 on a 4.00 scale. Although that's the middle range, remember that students with GPAs on both ends of that spectrum are admitted as well. Also, UCSD is a test-blind college, meaning they do not consider SAT or ACT scores for admissions, so your GPA and other non-test parts of your application will have a greater impact. Other parts of your application like extracurriculars and your personal essays will play a major role in the admissions process. With a competitive GPA and a strong overall profile, you'll increase your chances. Keep working hard and best of luck!
