<p>I Have no idea how you could fill four years with all AP classes must be taking only 3-4 classes a semester in a HS with no requirements.</p>
<p>I think they'll let me in (I can be optimistic, right?), but hey, you never know.</p>

<p>this shud help me
first generation american raised in a 3rd world country(pakistan) which shud account for my low english scores and also why i didnt do nething gr8. also backward school(like they can ever confirm dat). second generation college student. poor (u convert paki currency in dollars. u will be surprised how less it seems). i dun know also add the hardship of leaving my home and coming to usa to live alone for a year learning how to live on my own and also adjusting in a different country. at the same time i gave the SATS in usa so dat shud make my score prominent. </p>
<p>anyways its a big gamble for me cuz i applied to eecs and i dun know if i played the system right or not. but ill get tht answer on 31st</p>

<p>by Regent's policy, all UC's cap the bonus points for honors/ap in the gpa calc to 8 semesters or 4 year-long a-g classes. Thus, the only way someone could apply with a "UC gpa" of 5.0 would be if they only took TWO academic classes during soph and jr years, all of which were UC-approved honors/ap. While I guess it's theoretically possible, it would look like an extremely light load, and would not likely impress in the strength-of-schedule comparison. </p>
<p>To earn a UC 4.5 gpa, a kid would take only 4 classes each year.</p>
<p>hmm. i just went by the UC GPA listed on my school's transcript. i never knew there were such things as caps/etc.</p>
<p>but hopefully, i can still get in.</p>
<p>hmmm the engineering department does not cap your gpa?</p>
<p>what's the acceptance rate for out of state kids? Do out of state kids need higher stats to get accepted?</p>
<p>pikeamufs: generally, yes, out-of-staters need better stats.</p>

<p>That is what I was trying to allude to. It being impossible if you actually have a decent load</p>
<p>uc gpa is this: they dont cap gpas although they say they do (inside information) also they take ur 10th and 11th grade grades. minuses and plusses don't affect it (so a- = a = a+). most honors classes don't count, although if youre in one of the top schools in the state or nation a few will. all ap's usually count. honors and aps that count, add an extra 1.0 to your gpa per semester.</p>
<p>where did you get that info?</p>
