Hey, I'm planning to apply to UC Davis next year. Could you tell me what's the average GPA of accepted students? I'm trying to gauge where I stand academically in their applicant pool.
The average GPA of admitted students at UC Davis tends to be quite competitive, typically a 4.00 - 4.26 on a 4.0 scale, according to most recent data. This is a weighted GPA for California residents. OOS (out-of-state) applicants usually have a slightly higher average GPA as the applicant pool is more competitive. Just keep in mind that these are averages and the admission process is highly individualized and considers many other factors beyond GPA. Every year, there are students who get accepted with GPAs that are below the average because they shine in other areas of their applications, so don't be discouraged if your GPA falls a bit below this range. Still, it's a good barometer to see where you stand.
