So I looked at http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/berkeley/freshman-profile/index.html
and it says the average GPA for UC Berkeley is 4.18 . Is this like a complete 4-year weighted GPA? Or is this the GPA that UC’s in particular calculate (Sophomore-Junior, 2 AP courses a semester weighted)?
Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!
The GPA posted on the UC website is the UC GPA calculated using 10-11th grades capped with 8 semesters of honors credit points. If you want to know the unweighted GPA, look directly on the UCB website or the common dataset
alright, thank you!!! just to clarify-so if i take 2 AP courses + 1 UC approved honors… Only two of those three would be weighted on my GPA for each semester right?
No, all 3 classes are weighted so on the UC GPA Calculator, you enter your grades for all the a-g courses from 10-11th grade and add 6 extra honors points (6 semesters/3 UC approved AP/Honors classes unless the classes are only 1 semesters vs 1 year long).
Go here for UC’s explanation of how those average GPA’s are determined, confirming above info: http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/freshman/profiles/
