question about GPAs

Applying to College
1

<p>i couldnt find a thread that distinguishes the W and UW GPAs. When i got my transcript, there were 4 GPAs. the common one was the overall W and UW GPA. since i live in so cal, there is another GPA that says CSU, which im guessing stands for California State Universities. The fourth is the college weight GPA. </p>

<p>My stats at the end of my 1st semester sophomore year are:
Overall: UNWTD 3.39
Overall: WTD 3.50
CSU GPA 3.20
College WTD 3.20</p>

<p>Which GPA do the colleges, especially the UC's schools, look at?
How come my UNWTD GPA is lower then the WTD when a lot of people have higher UNWTD's then their WTD's? (i am taking APs and HNS)?</p>

<p>Im not interested in the CSU's GPA because i dont want to go to any of those universities.</p>

<p>Calculate your GPA through the UC eligibility calculator.

<p>weighted is always higher than unweighted.</p>

<p>like, if you got a B in an AP class, on your unweighted GPA it gets added in as a 3.0, but on the weighted one it gets added in as a 4.0.</p>

<p>i don't know what the final GPA is.. maybe it's just weighted AP's and not honors or something? i mean, it's different at every school, and i'm not from california. my school gives a weighted GPA and that's it.</p>

<p>It does get confusing in CA because UCs only weight 8 semester units and only classes that meet their criteria. Our school only weights UC-approved classes, but you still have at least 3 gpas: weighted, unweighted , and UC weighted.</p>
