<p>if your gpa is 3.3 some ish unweighted, is that basically a rejection? weighted mine is about 3.7 some ish...</p>
<p>anyway, ithink EVERYTHING else is very legitimate for my application...... </p>
<p>also, do eloquent essays have any worth? i heard UCs only care about your difficulties and stuff, and thats how they judge the essay's worth.....</p>
<p>anyway, yeah, that gpa is extremely gross, but i think i can redeem some points in my essay.....</p>
<p>You probably can. It might not make up for the GPA, but maybe, as a whole, you might get in.</p>
<p>UC's are really dumbers based. They like numbers.. high numbers... lol. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I have a low unweighted GPA (3.4), although my UC GPA is about 4.04 I think... so you never know, maybe ur UC GPA Is a lot higher than u think it is..</p>
<p>does unweighted really matter? i gotta 3.7 unweighted, but my weighted (UC) gpa is like a 4.4</p>
<p>Hahaha, you think your's is gross? Mines a 2.8 unweighted. Weighted it barely scratches a 3.0. If you have really high SAT scores, that might make up for a low GPA. But seriously, don't fret. There are a whole lot of other UC's to choose from.</p>
<p>Yeah, getting a lot of B's and C's is noticeable. Who knows? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Good luck.</p>
<p>is 2050 a high sat?? cuz its 350 off of my goal</p>
<p>2050 is fine if the rest of your application is strong. Not exceptional, strong will do, just as 2050 is not exceptional but strong in terms of SAT scores.</p>
<p>Is that basically a rejection? Who knows considering there is so much more to your life than merely how well you did in the classes that you took.</p>
<p>If you write an essay that changes the life of your reader (for the better), and the admissions director thinks it's that good, too, you're probably going to get in with your grades, and probably way below. Usually, essays can heal the sick but not revive the dead. Whether your GPA makes you dead is pretty much speculation and a waste of time cause you're applying anyway, aren't you? And guess what, you mght get in! Oh, and if your goal for the SAT is 2400 (and not 1700, which is also 350 from 2050), you should also aim for two or three 800s in the SAT IIs.</p>
<p>well, that sounds pretty comforting... thanks dude</p>
<p>ive got a 3.67uw and 4.1w ....
im scared-2150SAT outofstate</p>
<p>The UC Berkeley website lists the following:</p>
<p>U.C. Freshman Profile -- Fall 2004</p>
<p>4.17 Average GPA
28 Average ACT Composite Score
1359 Average SAT I (1600 max.)</p>
<p>24% Admit Rate (9,040 out of 36,666 applicants)</p>
<p>not meaning to scare away someone with a 3.3/3.7 GPA...</p>
<p>as if i dont have that memorized by now</p>
<p>How do I calculate my "UC" GPA? I have a 3.6x on a 4.0 scale, but I've always been in all honors and AP courses...so how do I go about calculating "UC" GPA?</p>
<p>i have an SAT score of 2200 (680M, 730V, 790W), i live in houston, texas, and i'm ranked 14/729 (top 2%) in a competitve suburban public high school, my GPA is 6.78 on a 6.0-weighted scale, and i'm graduating w/ 12 AP classes</p>
<p>i'm a us permanant res. whose ethnically bangladeshi </p>
<p>my ap scores are Us hist-4, world hist-5, comp sci a-4, and english lang -3</p>
<p>do u think i have a chance at UC Berkeley?</p>
<p>looks good. UCs love numbers, especially berk and ucla... </p>
<p>anyway, u know you could make your own post by pressing "new thread" on the top of the page....... thanks for trying to take over mine</p>
<p>live- u can only have 8 semesters of honors/AP boost... so if you have straight As, and 20 classes, it would be 80/20...... meaning 4.0 unweighted. even if all of those classes are AP, you can still only add 8 AP points, so it would be 88/20..... 4.40 or something.. (which is god-like).... you catch my drift??</p>
<p>lol so sorry man</p>
<p>So, just add up my regular grade-points, then add 1 for each AP class, and then divide by the total number of classes?</p>
<p>How do they factor in honors classes (UC-approved honors or whatever)...sorry for all the questions, I actually just decided last night it was worth applying to Berkeley even though its so tough being out-of-state.</p>
<p>no......</p>
<p>first, you take your 10 and 11th grade classes, (no PE), and add them up, it should be around 12. ok, and say you got As in all of them for both semesters. so thats 12classes x 4grade points x 2 semesters =96 points. so the UNWEIGHTED GPA is 4.0</p>
<p>for weighted, if you took more than 8 semesters of AP/honors (doesnt matter), you add EIGHT (8) to the 96. DO NOT ADD ALL OF YOUR CREDITS!! so it would be 104/24(number of semesters u have for 10-11)</p>
<p>anyway, that basically sums it up!</p>
<p>why dont you just email UC or seomthing</p>
<p>Wow, so that can carry a lot of weight then...does anyone know if the GPAs listed on US News are UC-weighted for all the UCs (Berkeley is 3.9...)?</p>
<p>Without any weighting, I'd have a 3.54 (46/13), but with APs (5) and Honors (3 more) weight I'd have a 4.15. I guess that's about normal?</p>
<p>Oh, and my school (in Maryland) only keeps record of final grades...I have not taken any semester classes so I just took the final grades from each year in my calculation...does that mean I should only add 4 "AP" points?</p>
