Hey y'all, I'm currently a junior and starting to think about colleges. Does anyone know what the minimum GPA is for UCSD? I know it varies from UC to UC, so I want to make sure I'm aiming for the right threshold. Thanks in advance!
Hello! UCSD, like other UC schools, requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 for California residents and a 3.4 GPA for non-California residents to be eligible for admission. However, it's important to keep in mind that the admissions process is competitive and simply meeting the minimum GPA requirement doesn't guarantee admission. UCSD typically admits students with higher GPAs, so it's essential to maintain a strong academic performance throughout high school to increase your chances of being accepted. Aside from GPA, UCSD considers other factors such as course rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal statements in their holistic review process.
