<p>UT Austin is super hard for out of state students-</p>

13

<p>.....no it's not...</p>

14

<p>wait, what is the UCGPA?</p>

15

<p>The UC GPA, as far as I know (and someone correct me if I am wrong), takes all core classes in high school (math, science, history, language?), and excludes all non-core classes (PE, sports, etc) in calculating your GPA. It's also important to note that the UC GPA excludes your freshman year. </p>

<p>As things stand now, the UC GPA is uncapped, meaning they use your weighted GPA based on UC-approved Honors and AP courses.</p>

16

<p>so my chances in being accepted to University of Texas is decent?</p>

17

<p>Wait did you say UC gpa is not capped?? i thought it was capped at 8 semesters</p>

18

<p>Yes arklogic, I believe you are correct. The UC GPA uses your weighted GPA, but only up to a maximum of 8. </p>

<p>Thanks for the correction : )</p>

<p>university of texas austin, wisconsin madison, university of washington chances?</p>
