How would UC's look at this GPA...

<p>ok i have have a 3.95 UCweighted GPA. now i have a few questions
-is a 3.95 really looked at any differently than a 4.0 (being that they are soo close together)
-do UC's look more at your Secondary School Report (grades in all classes) or your UC gpa
-do UC's look at all at your Unweighted GPA (mines it bad 3.55)
-how do they calculate your UC gpa (my school gives me an UC transcript that for some reason only uses 5 of the 7-8 classes i have for sophmore/junior year when calculating my UC weighted GPA</p>

<p>Thanks to all in advance</p>

<p>-not to differently, but 3.95 is still less than a 4.00
-they look more at your UC Weighted gpa
-they see it but only consider your weighted capped UC gpa
-the classes that are left out are not UC approved</p>

<p>O thanks</p>

<p>anyone else</p>

<p>yeah basically hurdlesrock is right but I have to stress that if the 3.95 is UC weighted that is a real difference from 4.0. See with their weighting a .02 could mean that you took an extra AP class after all the averaging works out so I would have to stress that you should not feel diminished but realize that there is a true gap there (not huge or anything).</p>

<p>How do you figure out your "UCweighted" gpa?</p>

<p>Only count academic classes (band, computers, dance, etc don't generally count unless they're AP), weigh honors and AP by a full point, only count junior and sophomore grades.</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>Sophomore: 7 classes, 5 count, 3 A's, one A-, one B+, 3 are honors/AP.
Junior: 7 classes, 4 count, 2A's, one A-, one B+, 3 are honors/AP.</p>

<p>That would be 4+4+4+4+4+3.67+3.67+3.3+3.3+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 40, divided by number of classes (9) = 4.4 UC GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks but i still have a quick question
on the UC transcript that my councellor gave me it factors in (for example) my US, Eng, Physics, Chem, Span when I actually also have Math (which isn't calculated in) so what exactly does this mean (btw i have taken math in tenth and ninth grade and am a rising senior, but the math hasn't showed up for junior year)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot in advance</p>

8

<p>what math did u take junior year? and check on the UC website to see if that math is UC approved</p>

<p>I took Calculus Honors (its UC approved) but for some reason my councelors are morons and are only putting five classes for each HS year.
I have a new question: how will the UC's look at my UC weighted GPA? WIll it be taht UC transcript i received or will it be their own way counting all the UC classses</p>

<p>You enter in each class and the grade on the app and it calculates the UC GPA (I'm assuming it works the same way every year).</p>

11

<p>Do all colleges do something like this? What is considered an amazing UCweighted gpa? Could someone maybe make ranges for us to see?</p>

12

<p>I just calculated mine... 4.5... is that good?</p>

13

<p>Yes, it's good - 4.5 is the maximum that a UC GPA is allowed to be.</p>
