<p>Just for clarification...</p>
<p>For the UC GPA..
A+, A, A- =4.0
B+, B, B- =3.0
etc??</p>
<p>And AP class A+, A, A- =5.0? But apparently they only allow 4 classes to be weighted this way?</p>
<p>Please confirm this!</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>8 semester points max - so 4 classes (ap's or honors), 10-11 grades only, a-g only (sorry, they don't care if you got an A+ in PE)</p>
<p>in the online application when putting in your grades, it just asks for a letter, but no +/-, so yes, A+, A, A- are all the same thing to them and they will never even see the +/-</p>
<p>^^^ OMGOD are you serious??? That's amazing... I get mostly A-'s!</p>
<p>Wow.</p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p>I'm soooo glad +/-s don't take into account for the UC system.</p>
<p>Only weighting 8 semesters kinda stinks when you have a few B's but mostly AP/Honors classes. Then again, they do look at the rigor of your curriculum.</p>
<p>also, bonus points only for UC-approved honors courses. (Just bcos your HS labels a course as 'honors', UC might not concur.)</p>
<p>The formula has a strange implication -- the more non-qualifying a-g classes you take, assuming you have all As and at least 8 semesters of AP, the higher the gpa. Taking 0 semesters of PE yields a gpa of 4.28. Taking 4 semesters of PE and 4 more semesters of other non a-g courses (therefore they are not counted in gpa computation), yields a UC gpa of 4.4</p>
<p>Weird.</p>
<p>They do it on a semester system? My school only shows the end of the year final averages on the transcript. Is that all that counts?</p>
<p>BTW every class that I have taken thus far is year-round, so semesters don't really matter for me.</p>

<p>Not sure what's wierd; only a-g courses are counted. UC does not care about Health, PE, driver's ed, basketweaving, religion (at a parochial school)....</p>
<p>Mega: if your HS only has one official marking period, then you would essentially be capped at four bonus points. (Or just multiply your year-end grades by two.)</p>
