<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I've come across two figures of high school GPAs of the 07-08 incoming freshman at UCLA. However, they are not the same, and I was wondering what made up for the big difference. </p>

<p>In here:
<a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/selecting/camp_profiles/camp_profiles_ucla.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/selecting/camp_profiles/camp_profiles_ucla.html&lt;/a>
it says this:
Average high school GPA: 4.14</p>

<p>However, in here:
<a href="http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/page.asp?RelNum=7826%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.newsroom.ucla.edu/page.asp?RelNum=7826&lt;/a>
it says this:
"Academic characteristics for admitted freshmen remained strong. Admitted students had an overall grade-point average — including honors and advanced placement courses — of 4.30, compared with 4.26 last year."</p>

<p>Why are the two GPAs, 4.14 and 4.26, so far apart?
Thanks.</p>

<p>I think the 1st one is capped @ 8 extra points and the other one is fully weighted, not sure though.</p>

<p>4.14 is the capped UC GPA.
4.26 is (was) the uncapped weighted GPA. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Oops, I meant 4.30, not 4.26. =P</p>

<p>Also, do the UCs look primarily at the UC GPA, or do they consider the UC GPA and the uncapped weighted GPA equally?</p>

<p>The UCs look primarily at the UC GPA. Then they check your weighted GPA. :rolleyes:</p>
