How exactly do UCs calculate gpa?

<p>I'm hearing everything from "they don't even look at freshman grades" to "they get everything up to the first half of senior year", and even more confusing info on how they have their own weighting system. Could someone clear this up for me?</p>

<p>For admission decisions, the UCs don't see your senior grades at all. You turn in your application well before most schools have a grade and the UCs don't ask for a transcript until after you have been accepted/rejected to make sure you didn't do very poorly senior year.</p>

<p>I think you posted the wrong link there VTECaddict unless you meat a redirect to this very thread.</p>

<p>my school had a grading system change from the Semester system to the quarter system my senior year, i wasn't sure if i was suppose to put down my senior year grades because we already had some official ones but i put them in anyways</p>
