Hi everyone! I'm starting to look at colleges and UC Irvine is on my list. Can anyone tell me what the average GPA is for students who get admitted to UCI? I wanna know if I'm in the ballpark or if I need to step up my game. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! It's great that you have UC Irvine on your list. To give you an idea of the average GPA for admitted students, for the Fall 2023 incoming class, UCI reported an average weighted GPA of 4.2, and an average unweighted GPA of 3.95, for admitted students. However, keep in mind that GPA is just one part of the application, and admission to UC Irvine considers a variety of factors in their holistic review process, such as coursework rigor, extracurricular involvements, essays, and more.
It's important to assess your profile in the context of UCI's other admissions criteria and remain focused on developing a strong application overall. If your current GPA is around the average or even slightly below, don't get discouraged! Continue to work hard in your classes, seek opportunities to showcase your interests and strengths, and craft compelling essays when applying.
Best of luck in the college application process!
