<p>Do Colleges looks at the 9-12 GPA or the 10-12 GPA? With that being just like for academic decathlon does your GPA only include academic courses (no PE, band or electives)?</p>
<p>When I look through my college book and online I've always wondered if the avg. GPA they display is weighted or nonweighted. Does anyone know? For UCLA is obvious it's weighted....</p>
<p>Last but no least weighted vs. nonweighted. Which one matters more and since I take a lot of honor/AP classes would my nonweighted GPA make me look that bad?</p>
<p>So if anyone can answer these questions for me it would help a lot. Thanks</p>
<p>Everything depends on which school.....what schools are you thinking of applying to?</p>
<p>At the moment mostly UCs, like UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UCI. I was also thinking about USC and the claremont colleges.</p>
<p>What matters most is class rank.</p>

<p>Read that and just ask if you have any more questions.</p>
<p>BTW, I'm not sure, but I think all UC's use UC GPA. I tried to find a link explaining UC GPA, but I couldn't find one....does anyone have a link for that?</p>
<p>UC gpa? Jeeze and I thought I've heard of everything :)...</p>
<p>As for class rank do the look at the number or do they look at what percent? Because even though I'm in the top 10 percent my rank is a little high because there is about 700 in my class...</p>
<p>so to hijack the thread, but i have a quick question....are there weighted gpas in college? i.e. over 4.0. if so, how do they determine which classes are weighted.</p>
<p>Ok I'm just going to try and explain UC GPA since I don't have a link, so someone correct me if I'm wrong or add something if I have missed something.</p>
<p>UC GPA = weighted GPA of a-g courses from grades 10-11, but there is a cap of 8 semesters for courses that offer an extra GPA point (i.e. AP classes)</p>
<p>For example, say through grades 10-11, you took 12 classes combined, 6 soph year, 6 junior year, and all of them were AP classes that award an extra GPA point. You received an "A" in all of those classes, every semester/term (depending on what type of schedule your school runs), but your UC GPA is only like 4.33 (I hope I did the math right....) instead of 5.00 since UCs cap extra GPA points at 8.</p>
<p>BTW, I'm not sure how the UC GPA process works for OOS applicants, or if it even applies to them.</p>
<p>hmmm I just calculate that for my soph. year with courses A-G I have a 3.9. Not sure if that's right.</p>
