#### You’re more than your GPA

Students sometimes wonder: Do I need that high a GPA to get into UC Davis? Or, if I meet or exceed the GPA shown, is that a guarantee that I’ll be admitted? In both cases, not necessarily. UC Davis considers [13 holistic review factors](https://www.ucdavis.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/application-review-criteria) to review your achievements and personal qualities in light of the opportunities available to you and your demonstrated capacity to contribute to the intellectual life at the University of California, Davis.

## **Transfer admission statistics**

### Transfer GPA details

You must earn at least a 2.40 GPA in your UC-transferable classes to meet UC requirements; California non-residents must earn at least a 2.80 GPA. However, UC Davis requires a minimum 2.80 GPA  for admission. Also, many of our  popular programs  require a higher GPA.  Aim for your highest GPA to stay competitive.
