<p>@mlpwas100 No, UCs don’t count 9th grade courses unless it’s for AP credit (and that’s from the test). For the GPA, you don’t count 9th grade stuff. Same with Stanford.</p>
<p>mlp: As other posters have mentioned: Your scores won’t qualify you for any merit aid in the UC’s. California public schools, like the UC’s, do not provide need-based aid to out of state residents. You can’t “hope” for scholarships (and most of the main scholarship monies come from the schools) because California is out of money, and the children of California taxpayers get first dibs. There are hundred of thousands of California kids who apply for aid. Your scores are not competitive. </p>
<p>Judging from your SAT scores: I don’t think with improvement, that your scores will reach the 2200’s, which is where the California publics begin to notice you.</p>
<p>Your scores are nowhere near the expected scores for Caltech students. Most of those kids score over 2350. You need to seriously consider your instate schools in Florida.</p>

<p>Rather doubtful, particularly with your scores. Even just admission is not anywhere close to assured.</p>
<p>How to calculate HS GPA for UC and CSU purposes:

<p>@"aunt bea" a i have accepted the fact that I am most likely going to be going an in-state school(Florida). The extra schools are there for “the dream.”</p>
<p>I would not listen to the nay sayers. I would try for your reach schools and not settle. Most of the schools provdie generous financial support to those that need it to attend. Based on the discrepancy between your verbal and math scores, I’m guessing English was not your first language. If so, that will be factored in. Go for it!</p>
<p>They aren’t “naysayers” when they are giving the OP financial facts. OP, are you familiar with the Net Price Calculators that colleges provide on their websites? Please run those for every college on your list, and you will see that you have many unaffordable options even if you manage to get accepted (also highly unlikely, but it doesn’t matter because the financial aid will not be there for you). @lostaccount, i don’t think you have a clue how financial aid works, especially for public universities with OOS students.</p>
