So do I technically have a 4.0?

<p>This question pertains to UC admissions.</p>

<p>During my freshman year (no honors or AP courses), I received a GPA of 3.6.</p>

<p>During my sophomore year (1 honors course and 1 AP course), I received a GPA of 4.0 (unweighted). Weighted GPA is 4.16.</p>

<p>During my junior year (1 honors course and 2 AP courses), I received a GPA of 4.0 (unweighted). Weighted GPA is 4.5.</p>

<p>It is now my senior year and I am taking 3 AP courses.</p>

<p>I know that UCs don't count freshmen year grades or senior year grades. UCs only count sophomore and junior year. </p>

<p>So does this mean that according to the UC grade point system...I have a 4.0? I mean since they don't count freshmen or senior year grades and I received 4.0's during my sophomore and junior year...does this technically mean that I have a 4.0?</p>

<p>I think if the classes from 10th and 11th are in the a-g list then you're technically have UC GPA higher than 4.0. They do not include 9th grade GPA.</p>

<p>so if i get a 2.5 in freshman year and like 3.8 in soph and jr year, will that be good enough for a UC? O__o;;</p>

<p>UC might not include classes taken your freshman year into your GPA, but they still look at your grades in those courses. </p>

<p>Technically, you could still get into a UC school with those grades. Riverside and Irvine would probably still accept you, but UCLA and Berkeley are a little more of a stretch.</p>

<p>ok guys i need help ASAP...on my transcript it says exactly "UC/CSU GPA: 4.238"
however i went to one of the UCSB on-site college counselor's office and they told me my GPA was only 4.05. Did they make an error cuz when i calculated A-G requirements of my 10th and 11th grade year i got 4.238. Plz help.</p>
