<p>Your “A-G” GPA needs to be at least a 3.0 to even qualify to apply.</p>

<p>I don’t get how ur Weighted GPA is so diff from ur A-G gpa. Shouldn’t all your weighted classes be in the A-G list. Hopefully you didn’t count freshmen year in both GPAs.</p>

4

<p>oh i guess, i did count freshman year in my weighted gpa. damn. If I got a 4.0 first semester this year, would it raise my a-g gpa?</p>

5

<p>What were your classes and grades for sophomore and junior year? I can calculate your UC GPA for you if you want.</p>

6

<p>no senior grades dont factor in ur UC GPA. However, if you do well ur senior year, maybe you might be accepted to the low-tier UC. Retake the SATs too, so it looks better.</p>

7

<p>if your recalculated a-g gpa for 10 and 11 is above a 3.0 then you should get into merced and riverside. but without your known gpa i couldnt give you a true estimate on which ucs youd get into.</p>

<p>please chance me back anyone.</p>

<p>You got 3 D’s. I don’t think you’re eligible for UC’s.</p>

10

<p>Yea :(. You could try retaking the class now in CC or in high school :(. How did you get 2 C’s in Alg. 2/Trig and be able to go to Precalc Honors o.o?</p>

11

<p>If I counted correctly, </p>

<p>3 A’s = 12
6 B’s = 18
8 C’s = 16
3 D’s = 3</p>

<p>Total grade points = 49+ 8 bonus points = 57. Divide by 20 semesters yields a 2.85 gpa, which means that you must repeat the D’s to become eligible. And, I think senior year is too late. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

12

<p>so, even if i bumped my sat up to 2000 and i got a 4.0 this semester, i still couldn’t apply?</p>

13

<p>You could also qualify by Examination Alone, but that requires an average of 690+ on all five tests.</p>
