Same source, student group and reporting period as the profile above.
For an unweighted comparison, use 3.95–4.00. For UCLA’s weighted profile, use 4.44–4.78. Both describe the middle half of admitted students, not the lowest GPA UCLA can admit.
The requirement, not a prediction
The recorded GPA component starts at 3.00 for California residents and 3.40 for nonresidents. Other requirements and any alternative pathways must be checked separately.
How to use this information
- Use the UC admission calculation, not an arbitrary weighted school GPA or a current college GPA.
- A–G completion, course grades and comprehensive review still matter. Meeting the GPA floor does not establish competitiveness.
- Do not compare a middle-50% profile with a minimum as though they were the same statistic.
First-year, transfer and enrolled GPA are different
This page covers first-year admission. A university course calculator measures entered coursework after enrollment and must not be treated as a high-school admission recalculation. Keep the source’s scale and course set attached to any number you compare.
