<p>i've been reading the threads and i still don't get what the "uc gpa" is. is it just your gpa from 10th and 11th grade? how do u calculate it? this is probably a stupid question but w/e lol</p>
<p>its your gpa from sophomore through junior year (including summer school before sophomore year and after junior year) in all academic "A-G" classes. Your school may have a list ready for you to check which classes are A-G, or you can check online somewhere by typing in your school and a list will come up. For any UC-approved honors, AP, IB, or Community College classes, you get an extra point (A=5, B=4, C=3, D/F gets no extra weight), and you can get up to 8 weights (8 extra points) on your gpa before they stop weighting classes. The easiest way to do it is to first ignore weights, just giving A=4, B=3 and so on and adding all your grades. Then, when you get your total unweighted, add the number of weighted points you would get. Example:</p>
<p>Sophomore/Junior Year Classes</p>
<p>English II Honors (not UC approved honors) A/A
Bio CP B/A
Algebra II A/A
World History AP A/B
PE A/A</p>
<p>English III AP A/A
US History CP B/A
Chem Honors B/B</p>
<p>4+4+3+4+4+4+4+3+4+4+3+4+3+3+6= 57/14 = 4.07</p>
<p>Note that I did not include PE in the calculation because it is not an A-G course. Also, even though there are 8 semesters of honors/ap classes, i only added 6 points because if English II Honors were not UC approved as an honors course, you dont get the weight even if your school calls it honors.</p>
<p>thanks. so they don't even look at your freshman grades? do they consider 9th drage gpa in the admissions?</p>
<p>Yes, they don't look at your freshman year grades. :rolleyes:</p>
