<p>Are they weighted? Unweighted? Averaged? Does anyone know (or have the number of someone who would?)?</p>
<p>weighted i heard</p>
<p>I heard unweighted.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter. Just don't get any D's or F's.</p>
<p>what about AP exams? do you gotta take those?</p>
<p>If you said that you were gonna take them on your application, then you should take them. If you're not going to, you should call the admissions office to ask them if that's okay. If it's not okay with them, you should just suck it up and pay the money and take the test. It's not worth $72 (or whatever the APs cost these days) to get your acceptance rescinded.</p>
<p>yea but in what portion of the application did we say we were gonna take future ap tests.. from what i remember, we just took our scores for previous tests, and we just had ap classes on our schedules.. i don't remember them asking for what future ap tests we were gonna take...</p>
<p>It's on there. There's the part where you enter the scores you've already gotten, then you put the future ones too</p>
<p>it is understood that if u are taking an ap class that ure gonna take the ap exam. if u dont take the ap exam then ur class isnt ap designated</p>
<p>AP classes are honors level in that they are taught at the college level. It is not understood that you will opt to take the ap exam, nor is it required. If you opt to take the ap exam and pass the test you then have the option of gaining exemption from repeating the class at college. (if your school accepts the ap exam you passed) There are restrictions on how much credit you may bring to UCI. This information is from their web-site. I suggest you go and do your own research about the courses you have taken, and how they will apply.</p>
<p>Honors-Level Courses. Advanced Placement courses, higher-level courses offered through the International Baccalaureate Program, courses certified by the University as honors courses, and college courses in the "a through g" college preparatory subjects that are transferable are examples of honors-level courses. The University assigns extra grade points for up to four units of honors-level courses taken in the last three years of high school. NOTE: No more than two units of honors-level courses taken in grade 10 may be assigned extra points. Grades in honors courses will be counted as follows: A = 5 points, B = 4 points, and C = 3 points. Grades of D are not assigned extra points. To be counted, these grades must have been earned in University-approved honors-level courses in history, English, advanced mathematics, laboratory science, language other than English, computer science, social science, and the visual and performing arts.
Advanced Placement Credit</p>
<p>Students who earn scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Examinations will receive credit toward graduation at UCI. The unit and subject credit allowed toward degree requirements assigned to each test are shown in the chart.</p>
<p>Students cannot earn units or grade points at UCI in courses from which they have been exempted on the basis of Advanced Placement credit. Students who elect to enroll in courses for which they have already received Advanced Placement credit will have those courses specially coded on their transcript without unit or grade credit. However, some AP examinations exempt the student from a greater number of UCI units than the number of AP units earned (e.g., 4 units of AP credit for Microeconomics exempts a student from Economics 20A-B, an 8-unit series). In such cases, the student may elect to take the final course in the series for credit (e.g., Economics 20B).</p>
<p>Ok.. so what do i have to do now. I don't remember putting down that i was gonna take any ap tests on my uc application but i do remember putting down my 2 ap classes as part of my schedule (ap art history and ap lit). I'm only planning to/signed up for AP art history since i already took ap lang, and lit will give me same credit more or less for uci. So.. what do i need to do now if im not taking ap lit even though i had it under my senior course list..?</p>
<p>You will get the scores for the ap tests you pass in July. Report those scores to UCI if you have a 3, 4, or 5. If not, you will be taking that class again in college. If you did not sign up to take the English Lit test, then you will be taking bone-head English at UCI.</p>
<p>Unless you are specifically asked for the scores of the ap's you did not pass (grade 1 or 2) then dont report it. I know numerous college bound students who took ap's and did not opt to take the tests. I also know students who took ap's in their jr. year and did not pass the test. The colleges they applied to still accepted them. If passing the ap tests were important, those students would not have been accepted into schools like, UCLA, UCB, UCSD and UCD. Don't worry about it.</p>
<p>Lets get back to the topic at hand here. Obviously, us (seniors) have been bitten by the senioritis bug and have been, well lets say, more lax in our studies. On the "provisional UC requirements" that we have to meet, it states that we must maintain a "3.0 GPA over the two semesters." is this weighted? unweighted? ANy1 that got below a 3.0 weighted/unweighted that still got in? thanks.</p>
<p>someone asked at destination uci whether it was weighted or unweighted and they said it was weighted dont believe me? go call for yourself</p>
<p>I finally called the admissions office and the lady said it was 3.0 weighted. Yay, my senioritis can live on.</p>
<p>Whew! thats a relief. thanks</p>
<p>ucsd is unweighted too. plus its a mean between 1st n 2nd semester.</p>
<p>i went to ask admissions at celebrat uci they said its weighted
and both semisters added up together</p>
