<p>How does UCB calculate your gpa? do they include freshman year?
also i keep hearing something about a cap in weighting classes once you reach 8 ap/honors semesters or years? please clarify.
thanks!</p>
<p>UCB uses the same GPA calculation as the rest of the UCs: freshman year counts (I think), but freshman/sophomore honors don't give you extra points.</p>
<p>"also i keep hearing something about a cap in weighting classes once you reach 8 ap/honors semesters or years? please clarify."</p>
<p>I think the cap is just for honors, not for AP.</p>
<p>WRONG... Freshman Year definitely does not count in GPA calculations. That's a fact!</p>
<p>the cap is 8 semesters I believe</p>
<p>8 honors semesters excluding APs?</p>
<p>Freshman Year DOES NOT COUNT.</p>
<p>I love that rule :). Bye bye crappy freshman grades.</p>
<p>no.. they weight 8 semesters period. Doesn't matter if it's APs or honors. (max gpa is 4.5.. although with 8 it should really be ~4.4... I suppose it depends on how many classes you take)</p>
