Here is the UC GPA calculator. Post Capped weighted UC GPA and Fully weighted UC GPA: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
according to roger hub, my UC capped gpa is 4.09, which seems much lower than everyone that I saw get accepted on other threads. Does that just mean that the system is ultimately going to drastically lower my chances even though my regular gpa is pretty good? the uc app also didnt count 3 of my honors classes as honors credit, so that is putting me at a disadvantage as well
correction: uc capped gpa is a 4.19 i think
UCLA will take into consideration what your HS considers a rigorous course schedule.
UCLA will look at your capped weighted and fully weighted UC GPA. Although GPA is a major factor for the UC’s, your test scores, EC’s and essays will all contribute to your chances. You look like a qualified applicant but since UCLA is the most applied and one of the top schools in the UC system, consider it a Reach school.
