<p>How do you calculate the unweighted GPA for UC schools?
Do you include grades from freshman year or no? I'm so confused... because I'm screwed if they don't.
This is so unfair! If you get a couple B's in tenth grade but have all A's in all your other grades... you're screwed for admission to the top UC's. I have a 3.9 UW overall. I'm out of state and applying to Berkeley L&S and UCLA Engineering
Took a class prior to ninth grade: A
Ninth grade: All A's (8 A's) (one of the A's was not in a-g)
Took a class during summer: A
Tenth: 5 A's, 3 B's (one of the A's was not in a-g)
Eleventh: All A's (8 A's, all a-g and are all college courses)
Twelfth: First semester All A's (4 A's, all a-g, and are all college courses)</p>
I’m assuming you mean UC weighted GPA.
check this out: http://collegetools.berkeley.edu/documents/cat_113-128/Calculating_GPA.pdf
GPA’s for UC’s are only 10th and 11th grade.
Keep in mind that Berkeley and LA do not cap, so all AP/Honors courses get weighted.
Pro is correct. UCLA and Berkeley do not cap. All the other UC’s and CSU’s cap at 8 semesters of AP/IB/Honors classes. As far as I’m concerned, classes not part of the A-G requirements don’t count for nor against you.
