<p>GPA : Unweighted - 3.56 UC - 3.63 Weighted - 4.31
How did ur gpa go from that to so much higher weighted? You know that UC’s only award eight extra points right? I don’t think that’s possible.</p>
<p>thx for the feedback
i realize they only award 8 more points, that’s why my unweighted is 3.56 and uc is 3.63
my weighted is 4.31 because i have only taken health, 3 pe, and now anatomy that are non-honors classes (cept spanish is also non-honors and i took two years Spanish 2/3 then ap spanish)
i’ve taken a total of 5 ap classes (0 this year but taking the AP Lit test) but this year is majority IB (needed for IB tests).</p>
<p>if it helps
Fresh year - All A’s 4.67 GPA
Soph - 4 A’s 2 B’s 4.33 GPA then 4 A’s 1 B 1 C (Euro sucked for me being my first AP class). so 4.17.
Junior - (took 4 AP’s + baseball/IB LA and 0 period ToK (weighted class)
Was 4.00 GPA both semesters (the first semester of the year i had somewhat of a hardship and i’d rather not talk about it) 3 A’s 2 B’s 2 C’s (history and LA my suckiest subjects) both semesters all weighted</p>
<p>also after rereading your question again, my unweighted gpa is 3.56 my weighted (taking into acct honors, ap, ib giving you one more point) is 4.31, my UC gpa is 3.63</p>
<ul>
<li>Berkeley- Low to Mid Reach, Its possible</li>
<li>LA- Same as above</li>
<li>Irvine- Match</li>
<li>San Diego- Pretty sure you’re in</li>
<li>Santa Barbara- Match</li>
</ul>
<p>Your SAT scores and GPA pull a lot more weight than EC’s at the UCs, but if you have stellar essays, it should help out, Your GPA is low for Berkeley/LA/SD, but focus on those essays, and best of luck!</p>
<p>thx for the feedback guys
anyone else have any input?
my intended major is mechanical engineering and i know its impacted af =/
ill chance back :]</p>
<p>I don’t know about Berkeley and UCLA, but the rest seem like matches. Admissions would notice that you’re into math, and it helps that you’re majoring in engineering.</p>
