Importance of UC GPA?

Transfer Students
1

<p>This is for people that applied to the UC's. I'm thinking about applying to a UC as a transfer next fall. I attend a 4-year university that uses a semester system. Our grade's are calculated as such:</p>

<p>A = 4
B+ = 3.5
B = 3
C+ = 2.5
C = 2
...</p>

<p>You get the idea. I went o UCSD's GPA calculator and their system brings down my GPA by 0.1 points (example: 3.5 to 3.4). I guess that this can make a pretty big difference in transfer admissions.</p>

<p>So which GPA is it that they consider in transfer admissions? Does it make a difference since I have a semester system and UCSD has a quarter? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>It should also be noted that some of my classes don't match up credit-wise (example: a 3-credit english class versus an equivalent 4-credit english class).</p>
