<p>Hello, I am confused about how to calcuate my UC GPA. I am an International Baccalareate student here in the states. I recently found out some of my IB classes will not be given a grade boost (sad) so now I am worried that my GPA will lower than other candidates'. If someone could please help me calculate my UC GPA, weighted, and unweighted GPA that'd be great. Also how do private schools like USC/Stanford calculate GPA? Do they use the weighted GPA? </p>

<p>Am I at a disadvantage? ): My target schools are UCLA, USC, UCSD, or UCI. Reach schools are UC Berkeley or Stanford.<br>
P.S I know GPA isn't everything, but it is what admissions people look at first and I want to make sure I am okay.</p>
<p>It’ll depend where you go to school. Some honors classes will be weighted, depending on whether your high school got the course curriculum or whatever approved by certain people. AP classes are pretty much always weighted. I don’t know much about the IB program, and from what I’ve read on this forum, may or may not by weighted.</p>
<p>A more reliable source to get your GPA calculated would be your school. Try talking to your counselor or registrar, then report back if something seems wrong. Regardless, you seem to have a moderately rigorous courseload (with respect to CC stats) and good grades. However, since you’re not applying to the ubers like HYPS (minus S), your courseload and grades seem a good fit for all of the schools you’re applying to.</p>
<p>Since you’ve noted the weighted classes with an asterisk, I assume you already know which classes were approved for weight by the UC. In that case, I’m sure you know that an A = 4 points, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1; add an extra point for weighted classes. Then divide by the total units of credit you have. I’m sure a kid as smart as you can try it.</p>
