<p>Is your UC GPA weighted?</p>
<p>UC GPA is a UC-specific way of calculating GPA where approved a-g courses are given scores according to the grade you received and extra points are added for most AP courses and some honors courses, but there is a cap of how many bonus points can be allocated. It is usually not as high as a typically weighted GPA.</p>
<p>Back on topic, your GPA and SATs are both pretty good, and seem just out of reach of the top UCs.</p>
<p>UCB: 5%
UCLA: 15%
UCSD: 50%
UCSB: 80%
UCSC: 90%
calPoly: 70%</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>The cap vicissitudes mentions is 8 semester hours. Meaning that if you took 4 full-years of honors/AP/IB courses or more, you add 8 grade points to your total before dividing by the total number of units attempted to arrive at the UC-GPA.</p>
<p>Why aren't you applying to USC?</p>
