<p>How do you calculate GPA for UC schools? Thanks.</p>

2

<p>Calculate your GPA from 10th and 11th grades only and add 1 bonus point for UC-approved honors, AP, IB, and college classes.</p>

3

<p>Including college classes taken during the year and the summers after 10th and 11th grades, yeah?</p>

4

<p>what if some courses u took weren't transferable courses to your HS?
Like, I took AP Economics online, but it is recorded as Pass and not "A" because it wasn't transferable to my GPA or transcript.</p>

5

<p>Yeah..I guess I have the same questions.
So if by the time I'm done with junior year and I have a 4.6....is that good or horrible? I'm too oblivious.</p>

6

<p>Whoa, okay, I don't think that's right because on another post I saw that somebody said that the highest you can get is a 4.3...I'm confused.</p>

7

<p>And on that matter..do electives count for normal, un-UC, unweighted GPA? Like choir, newspaper, speech, and all that jazz.</p>

That doesn't count because you didn't take it at your high school and it doesn't show up on your transcript.

There's a capped UC GPA which limits your number of bonus points to 8 semester classes, but some campuses also consider the uncapped UC GPA.

Yes, electives count in the UC GPA.</p>

<p>the gpa is calculated only from a-g courses that you have taken.
go to <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html&lt;/a>
and scroll down to 'Grade Point Average'</p>

<p>For california high schools, you can see what courses at your high school are 'a-g' at this site <a href="http://www.ucop.edu/doorways/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ucop.edu/doorways/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Hey i got another random question, What if you took like extremely hard classes all 4 years (as in having to go to the local JC your senior year for 4/6 classes), but your GPA is pretty low, as in 4.00 weighted. Would you still have a shot at like Cal or UCLA? considering you have a lot of EC's and decent SAT scores like 20,000 and up on SAT I</p>

11

<p>actually i meant if the SAT scores were a little bit below the schools average?</p>

12

<p>by the way, a "class" means one semester of a class, so a yearlong course counts as two classes.</p>

13

<p>sure, potentially.</p>
