<p>Is the weighted/unweighted gpa listed on the student profile the gpa according to their grade conversion?</p>

3

<p>i’m reaaalllyyy confused about how to calculate your weighted GPA for california :(</p>

4

<p>Here is a good tool <a href=“GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub”>http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

5

<p>@pajkatt I believe so. </p>

<p>I’m struggling through the personal statement :frowning: I barely done much work on it and there are only two weeks left until the deadline…</p>

6

<p>Hi there! I’m planning to submit my application in a few days after I polish up my second essay. </p>

<p>Have any of you applied EA or ED? I applied to Harvard SCEA. </p>

7

<p>UC’s don’t have EA or ED.They have only RD.And good luck to your Harvard EA :wink: </p>

8

<p>@DreamsCT23‌ Oops. I meant EA or ED for other schools. </p>

9

<p>@Ninopedia For some reasons I didn’t apply early.</p>

10

<p>Didn’t apply early to another other schools either. </p>

<p>I’m assuming this is also UC gpa?</p>

12

<p>This tells you which classes are included in your GPA: <a href=“Freshmen Requirements - Office of Undergraduate Admissions”>http://admissions.berkeley.edu/freshmanrequirements&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Also, check out blog.admissions.berkeley.edu because there are many posts on applications, personal statement tips, etc. </p>

13

<p>Guys, I think this helps <a href=“Official UC Berkeley Class of 2018 accepted students - University of California - Berkeley - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1623204-official-uc-berkeley-class-of-2018-accepted-students-p1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>Still so much work to do.</p>

15

<p>We got 10 days left! Let’s do this! Though I’ll probably submit today or tomorrow. </p>

16

<p>@pajkatt Yes that is the UC GPA.</p>

17

<p>is there anyway to check if the school received your sat/act scores? </p>

18

<p>This application is so confusing…</p>

19

<p>So for the UC prompt #1, is it okay if we don’t explicitly state what our dreams/aspirations are but we focus more about our world and hardships?</p>

20

<p>just curious – does anything think the style of the uc personal statements should be any different from the common app? </p>
