how do the various schools really calculate GPA???

<p>uc's only award a max of 8 extra points and they have to be on a certain list</p>

<p>well I've taken 3 APs, which are definitely on the list, and then I guess the last 2 points would be for Chem Honors...</p>

<p>these points are semester based right?? so basically, they do it for 4 classes?</p>
