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
over the course of your high school education.
But 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.

You still have to take the entrance exams. I don't know what they require in Calif.? The SAT, ACT? Those scores are going to be extremely important! They'll look at your g.p.a., but it's not the do-all, die-all for getting in a university.
To answer you question better... you need to get out of Yahoo!Answers and start doing some research of your own! What do you want to study? What university do you have in mind? Do the work. Find the information that you're going to need. You must be, what, 17? 18? You're more than capable of doing this search.

first, what tough college of california did you attend, was it Standford or Caltech?
well you need to lok at your average g.pa, which i think is a high gpa.
You can basically apply to any UC school with your gpa but make sure your previous coursework is transferable to the UC system. One of the best UC schools is Berkeley, UCLA, and USC. probably the easiest UC to get in is UCR. So it all depends on your major and which UC as the best program for that major.

Colleges look at a number of things when evaluating you for admission. High School GPA is a factor, but many schools give a lot of weight to what classes you took (honors, AP,) your entrance essay (how you write,) your extracurricular activies, and your standardized testing scores.

Go to your guidance/career counselor. Many colleges have GPA requirements, but they can be as low as 2.0. Your SAT/ACT test scores, admissions essay, and extra--curricular activities will be important for most private schools (USC, Standford) and even for highly competitive UCs like UCLA.
Good luck to you. : )

college will not only look at you GPA but also you extras... such as activities, school community participation, and class advancement.. so as of right now you have the GPA thing covered but u also have to do well on your SATs and ACTs and get good references... good luck!

Your test scores will matter more than your GPA.
Best of luck, and God bless.

Any university you want, I suppose. Colleges just want to see that you can improve yourself, which you've obviously done. Good luck on everything!
