<p>My counselor told me that community college courses don't get the extra point in weighted UC gpa, even if it is UC transferable (meaning according to assist.org, I would be able to skip out of the class and get units for it). But on UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Profile of Admitted Freshmen, Fall 2008, it says under the fully weighted gpa section, </p>
<p>"This GPA includes an extra grade point for all UC-approved honors courses (which include AP, IB, school-based honors, and transferable college courses) in which a grade of C or higher is earned. The maximum value possible is 5.00."</p>
<p>Yeah.. so I am guessing my counselor was wrong. Can someone clear this information up for me?</p>
<p>I also heard that for each course taken at a college, I would get 2 grades for the class when my gpa is calculated. So according to my counselor, if I get an A in say Art 101 taken at a cc, I would get two A's. So is it true that a grade in a college course get populated into two grades (A/A, B/B, and so on) when they calculate your gpa? Can someone clear up this for me as well?</p>
<p>I thought I knew how to calculate my UC gpa (unweighted, weighted, and high school).. Now I am confused. I will post up my grades.. can someone calculate my UC HS, weighted and unweighted gpa for me? I will indicate UC approved honors level courses with an *. </p>
<p>10th grade (1st semester/2nd semester)</p>
<p>AP World History* - A/A
Honors Chem* - A/A
Honors Math Analysis* - B/B
Honors English - A/A (Not UC approved honors)
Korean 2 - A/A
Spanish 2 - B/B</p>
<p>11th grade</p>
<p>AP English Lang* - A/A
AP Biology* - A/A
AP Calculus AB* - A/A
AP US History* - A/A
AP Environmental Science* - A/A
Korean 3 - A/A
Art 101* - A (1 semester)
Econ 1* - A (1 semester)</p>
<p>I think your counselor is wrong.(My school counselors aren’t that good either.) It should count towards your UC GPA…but there is a capped limit of 8 weighted courses…I don’t know about the “2 grades for each CC class”</p>
<p>yeah the capped limit is on the UC High school gpa. I am sure the fully weighted gpa is not capped. Thanks though laserbase. The counselor said college courses will just get 4 points for an A, 3 points for a B, and so on.</p>
<p>Yeah I got that for my capped UC gpa. But if it college course grade DO get populated into two grades like my counselor said, then it would be 4.143?</p>
<p>Assuming that my counselor is wrong would my gpa be..</p>
<p>GPAx123 - Do you mean A counts as 5? I am not sure. But I think it does not matter. I guess if it’s a honor course then it is equivalent to a HS AP class. Click on the ASSIST link to see if your commuity classes belong to the UC honor courses. The UC recalculates the GPA. Remember what I post here is for ELC determination (top 4%). But I think the ELC criteria would apply to regular applications.</p>
<p>nope, I meant that you get two grades for a semester of college course. theocmom PMed me and answered my question. Thanks.</p>
<p>To everyone who did not know, if you take a community college course, the UC system calculates doubles that grade. So say if you get an A in a UC-transferable course (approved in assist.org) you get two A’s instead of just one.</p>
<p>fsw, are you sure? I’ve asked around couple of counselors at my school and a CC member whose D went through similar situation PMed me that you get two letter grades. </p>
<p>No Quarter, it depends whether you are a transfer or a senior in HS.</p>
<p>GPAx213: My daughter have taken 2 courses at a community college. Her high school transcript reported only 1 letter grade for each course taken.</p>
<p>According to my d: when you apply for UC, each college class is recorded as type “CL”. You tell it what grade you got (one grade). But my d’s UC application from 2 years ago when it printed after completion showed this for each college class: A/A. Could a student who was admitted this year check their app printout to see if the same was true to help GPAx213?</p>
<p>How the calif h.s. puts it on the high school transcript might be different across the state. Perhaps some schools don’t give a full year’s academic credit for a college class, but d’s public charter school certainly did, weighted, as though she had taken a full year AP class.</p>
