Good point deowl. I am hoping for the same.

I will note that the UC system is somewhat strange when it comes to GPAs and their admissions are sometimes difficult to figure out. For example, when I applied to law school, I was admitted to Berkeley, Michigan, Columbia & Penn (all higher ranked schools), but rejected from UCLA where I was doing my undergrad. The next year, a good friend was admitted to NYU, Columbia & Chicago but rejected from Berkeley.

I have always thought that, as part of the UC system, Berkeley and UCLA have some kind of numbers formula that they must adhere to. On the other hand, business schools like Columbia, Duke & Wharton appear to have more flexibility with regards to GPA.
