in my school system, any courses that are AP have an extra 10 pts added (grades are out of the 100 scale; 90-110 = A = 4, 80-89 = b = 3, etc.). i don’t know which ones to use (w/ the 10 or w/o) so here are the several possible GPAs:
-w/10 + UC weighted: 5.00
-w/10 + UC unweighted: 4.00

<p>Your grades are confusing... the UC GPA only goes up to 4.5, I believe. But it.. looks like you have a high GPA? And your test scores are relatively good, so I'd say you're in at UCSD. Not sure about Cal or UCLA, your test scores are a little bit low for those schools, and I think they'd like to see more leadership rather than membership, but your essays sound interesting.</p>
