So I’m an international student from China and I came here last year for my Junior year. My first two years GPA were given by my school in China. Cuz we have a different education system, and we were not provided with Honor or AP courses. My junior GPA was of course given by my current school in Cal. So my question is since we didn’t have AP courses in China and we’re more likely to have lower gpa fosho. And given that GPA middle 25%-75% students
High School GPA: 3.92 - 4.23, wouldn’t it be unfair to us? Also I’m applying as an international student, are we gonna be in different scale from you guys? IS the GPA requirement lower for us? Thank you.
My stats
UC GPA: 3.75-3.8
Varsity basketball, volleyball
EWB Robotics
Given that E-Engineering is pretty impacted, Ima apply for bio-chem or pre-bio. So what are chances pls
Oh my act score is 31 Gonna retake in December aiming a 33 or above
Here is the instructions for applying as an International applicant from China for your 1st 2 years. You will be evaluated based on what was available at your school in China and you will not be penalized for not having AP’s 9-10th grade. The requirements will not be lower for International applicants just different.
China
If you are following the IGCSE/GCSE/GCE curriculum, you must do the following to be eligible for admission:
Complete at least 5 IGCSE/GCSE/GCE O-Levels, and at least 3 academic GCE A-Level exams
If your school offers both H1 and H2 A-Level exams, UC will only consider H2 A-Level exams.
If you are following the Chinese national curriculum, follow these instructions for the application:
List all courses and marks, from grade 9 (year 3 of lower middle school) through grade 12 (years 1 through 3 of upper middle school) exactly as they appear on your official academic records.
Be prepared to submit your Graduation Certificate from the upper middle school if you are accepted to UC.
If you are following the IB curriculum, follow these instructions for the application.
Filling out the application
You must report grades exactly as they appear on your official academic records (that includes the secondary school transcript and exam report from the International Baccalaureate Organization.)
If possible, report predicted scores you expect to earn for the diploma exams. You should enter the scores on the International External Exams page of the application, under the Test Scores tab (Step 6 of 7 under Test Scores). You should not put your predicted scores on the International Baccalaureate page.
If predicted IB scores are not available at the time you submit the application, you do not need to report them on the application, and you do not need to submit them at a later date (unless a campus requests that you do so). UC campuses do not use predicted scores as the only factor for admission.
