How to calculate UC weighted GPA

<p>I had two honors and one AP soph year, and three honors and two APS junior year. Total seven classes soph year, and total six classes junior year.</p>

<p>I had all A's in these classes and calculated my UC GPA was 4.5 something. But this website (GPA</a> Calculator (UC) » RogerHub) says it is 4.31. Can someone help me out?</p>

<p>Each semester is counted as a class, so you had 26 classes total, and 16 classes that would receive a weighted grade. But UC limits the number of weighted classes to 8. So the boost from weighted grades would be 8/26 = .31.</p>

<p>The UC system is a little backwards, because the greater the number of classes you take, the lower is your weighted GPA.</p>

<p>So the cap of 8 classes includes honors classes AND AP classes?!?</p>

<p>Yes - but, note not all Honors courses get the bonus. You’ve got to look up your school here:

to see which courses get the extra credit. </p>
