From the GPA section of the FAQ (AACP finally put the document back up)

http://www.aacp.org/Docs/MainNavigation/InstitutionalData/6863_Tab8PSAR.pdf

Avg GPA at UIC was 3.39 last year. Application:acceptance ratio was 8.4:1.

How many places did you apply to? I wouldn't freak out because of 1 rejection. A qualified candidate isn't going to get into every place that they apply.
