Hi there! I'm really interested in applying to the University of California San Diego, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what their average admitted student GPA is? Would appreciate any info, thanks!
Hello! At the University of California San Diego (UCSD), admitted students typically have a weighted GPA between 4.03-4.28. Being in that range will definitely boost your chances.
However, other factors also play essential roles in UCSD's holistic review process, such as your course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and leadership experiences. So, while GPA is important, don't forget to focus on other aspects of your application, as no matter how high your GPA is, that alone won't guarantee that you're admitted.
