<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was wondering how universities outside of the UC system calculate GPA for high school. How do the Ivys calculate GPA? I know for the UC system it's :
A=4
B=3
C=2
(with no difference between + and -)
and an extra point for up to 8 semesters of UC accredited honors courses.
How does this system differ with other colleges?
Also, how do you calculate the unweighted/weighted for the Ivys?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>for UCs its an extra point for up to eight semesters in **both **10th and 11th grade or eight semesters for 10th **and **eight for 11th ?</p>
<p>yea..........how DO ivys calculate it?</p>
<p>sarah: yes, a max total of 8 bonus points regardless in which year you take the class, i.e. 8 max over two years. But, bonus points only for UC-approved honors courses, plus all AB/IB courses.</p>
<p>This is what most colleges compute</p>
<p>UW GPA: strip +/- and
A=4
B=3
C=2</p>
<p>Full Weighted GPS: Here colleges generally differ. Some provide same weightage to Hons. and AP some different but genrally the weightage is .5 for Hons. and 1 for AP.</p>
<p>UC also compute full weighted GPA (specially UCB, UCLA, and UCSD) and also the 8 semester weighted GPA for Sophomore and Junior year.</p>
<p>UC capped GPA (8 semesters max) is only used to determine eligibility to UC system. Each campus (like LA, berkeley, san diego) uses uncapped weight gpa (without limiting weight gpa to 8 semesters) for its admission decisions</p>
