B's in Honors/AP Courses

<p>Took 1 uc-approved honors/AP course this year (10th grade) (got an A)</p>

<p>Will be taking 5 uc-approved honors/AP courses next year (11th grade) (I'm guessing I'll get two B's and A's in the rest)</p>

<p>I calculated my capped weighted UC GPA and it comes out to around 4.4 with the B's.</p>

<p>Will UCLA frown upon these 2 B's on my transcript? Do you think they would not accept me because I got 2 B's in my junior year?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think a couple Bs will affect your chance THAT much if your WGPA is 4.4. What would your unweighted GPA be?</p>

<p>this is one of the most stupid threads ever. don’t you listen to what they teach you in high school?</p>

<p>^agreed. haha</p>

<p>Do your best to get As. Browse the forum and you’ll see that UCLA is competitive beyond imagination, especially this year.</p>

<p>2 B’s is not a problem at all, especially if they are in honors/AP courses. You are way overreacting. If they were 2 C’s you might worry, but a handful of B’s and the rest A’s can still be good enough for UCLA or UCB. Seriously, calm down. You’re doing fine.</p>

<p>Thank you for all the feedback.</p>

<p>Yeah, my weighted capped GPA would be around 4.4 & my unweighted GPA would be 4.0.</p>

<p>I’ve gotten 12 B’s. I got in :)</p>

<p>2080 SAT
750 Lit
680 Math 2</p>

<p>There’s always hope!</p>

<p>daisy555 you’re an idiot. explain to me how you will have a 4.0 unweighted gpa with 2 B’s, please.</p>

<p>LOL 10char</p>

<p>Don’t even trip! I’ve gotten a few B’s over the years, and last year I got a C/C+ in AP Chemistry first semester and a B second semester and got in. My weighted GPA at the time of applying was 4.33, and unweighted was 3.8. Remember, they look at your app holistically too.</p>

<p>I’m not sure if I’m calculating my unweighted GPA correctly.</p>

<p>If I have 2 B’s in UC-approved AP courses, does that lower my unweighted GPA to below a 4.0? I thought it only gets lowered if you get below an A in a regular non-honors/non-AP course.</p>

<p>Can someone please fill me in on how to calculate it correctly?</p>

<p>I suggest that you don’t apply to UCLA at all if you’re gonna keep that I’ll-Probably-Get-Some-B’s kind of attitude.</p>
