UC unweighted, weighted cap and full weighted gpa question

[ucbalumnus]

@Gumbymom

If you are a California resident and rank in the top 9 percent of students in your California high school class — and your high school participates in our ELC program — you may be eligible for ELC designation.

Actually, you get the ELC designation if your UC weighted and capped GPA meets the top 9% threshold UC weighted and capped GPA set by a recent previous class at your high school.

You are not competing for class rank with your current classmates, or with your high school’s notion of GPA for class rank. You trying to meet a benchmark of UC recalculated GPA set by a recent previous class at your high school. I.e. no need to play the cutthroat rank-grubbing games that are sometimes described on these forums.
