GPA does matter, as does level of course work (APs and Honors) and of course SAT or ACT scores. You need to complete the A-G course work as outlined on any UC campus website.  Avg. GPA for UCs Berkeley, UCLA and San Diego is close to 4.0.  If you go to the web site of the individual campus they will give give you the avg. GPA of students admitted to their schools.  I'm assuming you are a CA resident.  They like it when you have participated in the same extracurricular activities\nover the course of your high school education.\nBut don't fool yourself, GPA matters first, followed by test scores. Getting into the UCs is tougher than ever.  By the way, in addition to the regular SAT you need to take to SAT2 subject exams.

Assuming that a 90 is an A at your school, then you got a 4.0, with an average of 94.\n\nCongrats on the great grades!

Get a first class 65% if you want to go to a mediocre university.For good schools more than 75% and a very good score in CAT

the one up north (calumet)  is not a good school... its a pilot campus if your going to get a good education go to the original one... I cant tell you how many times my husband had to miss a class because of the north camups bomb threats and such... most of then were students pranking so they could skip out on classes

NO!! I went to a community college for two years. I never really did anything except show up for tests. I left with a 3.4 GPA. But now i've transfered to Indiana University and because of the bad habits i developed at my community college I am kind of struggling. I felt alot more prepared out of high school for a major university than i do now. \nAlso if you do plan on transferring to a four year school make sure your credits will transfer. All but 2 of my classes transferred, but every school is different. \nBut besides all that community college is great. They have small classes and the people are alot more helpful and friendly. Good luck!

Pomona is better than San Bernardino for engineering.\n\nThere's actually two polytechs in CA: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and California State Polytechic Pomona.\n\nGenerally, the Polytechnics are better than the typical CSU, especially for engineering.\n\nBelow is the the link to US News and World Report college ranking of Pomona and San Bernardino.\nIn the order, I would rank as as follows: \n1.  Cal Poly SLO\n2.  California State Polytechnic Pomona\n3.  CSU San Bernardino

Santa Clara isn't a UC. UC Santa Cruz is - but its rated the worst UC.\n\nI'd go UCI Bio for sure.

I also live in CA.  Santa Barbara is a beautiful college. I'm thinking of transfering there myself. No one can really answer this question for you, but here are some things to consider:\nDo you want to stay close to home?\nDo you like the busy life of New York?\nAre you a big partier? (I'm not saying there's no parties in New York, but let's face it, UCSB is the place to be for a good party)\nWhat is your field of interest?\n***Make sure you compare both colleges to see which one's right for you.

3.5 probably won't cut it, especially considering that most of the students who apply to Stanford have taken extremely tough classes and still have a 4.0. But the important thing is being a well-rounded student. Are you an officer in a lot of clubs? How are your SAT scores? You'll have to score around 2200 to make up for your low GPA. Definitely apply! It's better than always wondering if you might have made it. Good luck!

As a CA native, born and raised......all are good schools that you mentioned. USC is great, but the location it is in can be described as " Ghetto " and it's in a really bad part of the Los Angeles Community. Although that has nothing to do with the school itself. \n\nBerkley is great and would be a good choice! UCSB is good, I had some friends that went there but it isnt better than Berkley or USC.

No, its a party school. You should be able to get in. However the UC system has lots of applicants.

Well it wasn't hard for me though the college is supposedly really selective. Just make sure your sat or act scores along with your gpa if you still in high school looks good before you apply.  I'm a freshman and I disagree with what the person above me posted. The school is far from boring. Maybe his cousin attends one of the remote colleges of SCAD. I'm at the main campus and I've never heard anyone say anything negative about the school. You should really look into SCAD. I recommend taking a tour.

Not necessarily the best, but definitely a good school!  You should go for it!
