<p>Do UC schools only use sophomore-junior year to calculate GPA?</p>
<p>UC uses all “a-g” courses taken between the summer following 9th grade through the summer following 11th grade in calculating a student’s GPA.</p>
<p>In calculating the GPA, UC does not include courses taken in the freshman year, regardless of the level of the course.</p>
<p>In addition, UC calculates a weighted GPA limited to 4 years of honors courses with no more than 2 years of 10th grade honors courses.</p>
<p>In other words, for a semester calendar, which many U.S. schools use, 8 semesters of honors points with no more than 4 semesters of honors points from courses completed in the 10th grade.</p>

<p>They will also look at your unweighted and your uncapped weighted GPA for all your a-g courses, but for the Freshman Profile Stats posted on the UC website, it is the UC GPA (capped with 8 Honors points).</p>
<p>I think summer after 11th grade is not included since it considered 12 grade.</p>
