Hey everyone, UC Berkeley is my dream school, and I'm super anxious about my chances of getting in. Can anyone tell me about the average GPA range for admitted students? I want to make sure that I'm on the right track. Thanks in advance!
Hey! I understand that UC Berkeley is a highly competitive school, and it's great to know where you stand. For admitted students, the average high school GPA tends to be in the range of 4.15 - 4.29 on a weighted 4.0 scale. But keep in mind that UC Berkeley, as well as all the UC schools, practice a holistic review process, which means they consider various aspects of your application alongside your GPA, such as your course rigor, extracurricular activities, personal essays, and more.
If your GPA falls within or above this range, you're in a strong position academically. However, if your GPA is slightly below the average, don't be discouraged. Focus on other areas of your application to strengthen it—like writing compelling essays and showcasing your extracurricular involvement or any other distinctive talents or accomplishments you have. Good luck!
