Hey guys! I'm planning on applying to Cal Berkeley, but I'm not sure where I stand with my GPA. Can someone tell me the average GPA of admitted students so I know what to aim for? Thanks!
Hey there! The average GPA of admitted students at UC Berkeley varies depending on the program and major, but in general, admitted students tend to have high GPAs. Using data from previous years, it was reported that the average weighted high school GPA for those admitted was around 4.28 - 4.62, and the average unweighted GPA was approximately 3.89 - 4.0.
Keep in mind that UC Berkeley has a holistic admissions process, so your GPA is just one component of your application. Make sure to also focus on other aspects, such as your extracurricular activities, essays, and demonstrated interest in your intended major.
Best of luck with your application!
