Heyya! I'm feeling pretty solid about UC Santa Cruz, but keep stressing about my GPA. Could anyone let me know what the average GPA is for applicants who get into UCSC? Thanks a heap!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some guidance on this! According to the University of California - Santa Cruz's admissions profile, the middle 50% GPA range of admitted students tends to be around 3.76 to 4.16. This represents a weighted GPA, which means UCSC is considering the extra points you receive for taking rigorous courses like Honors, AP, or IB classes. However, each individual applicant can have a unique circumstance, so don't be deterred if your GPA is slightly below this range! Keep in mind that a strong application also includes many other factors like standardized test scores (if you choose to submit them), extracurricular activities, and personal essays.
