<p>Hi
So I'm currently a Junior and was curious as to what my chances are to get into UCLA or UCB
so i have had straight A's except for one B my freshman year
my weighted gpa last year was a 4.3 and this year is a 4.67
i play varsity tennis, top combo jazz saxophone, and am an officer of mock trial
i volunteer sometimes, and have around 150 hrs currently
thank you :))</p>
<p>looks good…the big thing is test scores (SAT, ACT, etc.) so if you haven’t taken them yet or don’t have halfway decent scores, you should probably work on that.</p>
<p>i’m on mock trial too, i know what a commitment it is ! :)</p>
<p>if you want any information with respect to UC’s, i invite you to check out UC statfinder. Probably the most comprehensive set of statistics with respect to any university you could find. play with the variables in the complex tables.</p>
<p>I’m curious when I read these CA weighted GPAs. Are these a basic 4.0 scale with a .5 or 1.0 point bump for APs, and do they have a bump for Honors, too, or something else?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>if your referring to the uc weighted/capped gpa, its a 4.0 scale with a 1 point bump for ap courses. the bonus points are capped to 8 semesters so essentially a person taking 8 individual semesters of ap classes would have the same capped gpa as someone who took 40 semesters of ap classes.</p>
<p>Thanks, but I’m confused. Assuming 4 years of classes, or 8 semesters, 5 classes per semester, or 40 classes total, and an UW 4.0, then a 1 point bump on a maximum 8 of those 40 classes, should come to a max WGPA of about 4.2 if I’m doing the math correctly. So how do kids get these 4.4+ WGPAs?</p>
<p>The UC weighted gpa is just a particular type of weighted gpa that happens to be capped at 4.2. I believe any reported gpa you see released by the UC’s will be this capped gpa. The cap is there simply to allow those that attend schools with fewer ap’s to be competitive. When someone says they have a 4.4 weighted, they aren’t imposing these same limitations on themselves.</p>
