UCLA Freshmen application: Which GPA to use?

<p>Looks like we are confused as to what GPA is UCLA interested in seeing on the applcation, the weight GPA for 10-12 or UC GPA computed using their online UC/CSU calculator ?
I was just now seeing last year's admitted profile page: Profile of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2012 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions and see that they mention the results using Weighted 10-11 GPA but I dont think the UC application has any field to enter any kind of GPA other than just listing the courses. So does this mean that for UC applications, we do NOT need to mention any kind of GPA and they will compute the Weighted 10-11 GPA?
Can somebody please advise as we seem to be confused regarding the specifics of this GPA data ?</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I think the online UC/CSU GPA calculator is for your use only to know where you stand. The UCs have different ways of calculating GPA, and they only take into account grades from sophomore and junior year. For example, some UCs cap the weighted GPA at 8 semesters of honors/AP classes (so I think that comes out to a max of 4.38). However, UCLA does not cap the weighted GPA in their calculations so they will take ALL weighted classes into consideration. As far as I remember, you don’t need to enter any GPA number value in the UC application. I think they do it on their own just by looking at your reported grades.</p>
