<p>I hope no one is bored enough to calculate your UC GPA for you.
Your username is “UC or bust”!</p>

<p>The UC admissions website has a clear description of what’s included (a-g classes) and what’s not (PE, freshman grades).</p>

<p>Have you met the Visual and Performing arts requirement? I see one semester of media, but not a second semester. You may want to visit your counselor and make sure your senior schedule fulfills the UC a-g requirements.
(Unless the 9th grade art class satisfied the requirement?)</p>
