<p>Hi, I have two questions:
1) If anyone out there is an oos student at berkeley, why'd you choose to attend over the other schools you were considering? (sorry if this sounds rude, I'm just trying to figure out whether to look mainly at my state's flagship because of the cheaper tuition over double the tuition at an out of state state school)
2) I calculated my gpa with the UC gpa calculator and got a 3.9, but that doesn't sound right because I had a D and 2 Cs in 10th grade. Also, most of my classes are year long, so do I count each grade in the year long courses twice? For reference, here are my classes.</p>
<p>10th grade:</p>
<p>honors precalc: D
honors chemistry : C
honors biology: C
honors english 2: A
honors world history: B
honors french 3: A</p>
<p>11th grade (based on my first semester grades):</p>
<p>ap calc AB: A
ap biology: B
ap US history: A
honors english 3: A</p>
<p>I didn't factor in : CAD 1, Health (both are semester classes with As)</p>
