<p>so the UC GPA calculator only asks for how many A’s B’s C’s D’s F’s, honor classes i took… but do they care how many credits the class is worth when they calculate UC GPAs?</p>

<p>at my high school i have classes that are either everyday or every other day with the everyday classes weighing twice as much onto my GPA rather than the classes i take every other day.
do UC’s do the same when calculating UC GPAs?
or is it that just how my high school calculates the GPA.</p>

<p>The UC gpa uses grades for semester-equivalent classes, with 5 credits being one semester. If your HS transcript only lists one grade for all year, then it counts as 10 credits. The honors/AP/IB bonus point cap (8 max.) is for semesters.</p>
