<p>I know that the UC's recalculate high school GPA with city college classes incorperated but does USC use the same system? I know UC's count a college class for 10 points (like a full year of one AP course) but does USC do the same? Please any info would be greatly appreciated because I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks</p>

<p>USC does not use the same admissions standards or application procedures as the UC system because USC is not a UC.</p>

<p>USC uses an unweighted academic GPA and considers the rigor of your curriculum - so doing well in community college courses would show that you challenged yourself. USC does not use a “point” system in admissions. USC does not use the “UC GPA” because, again, USC is not a UC.</p>

<p>Details on how USC considers GPA:

Grade Point Average
When assessing grade point average, consideration is also given to class rank and to the strength and frequency of Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate course work in a student’s curriculum. Naturally, we are interested in consistently strong academic performance throughout your four-year high school record. However, we realize that some bright students, for one reason or another, don’t always get off to a great start in ninth grade. In these cases, special attention is given to steady and substantial improvement throughout the sophomore, junior and senior years.
