If I’m from Massachusetts, and take an honors course, is it weighted towards my UC GPA? If so, that changes my weighted GPA from a 4.23 (6 Ap’s/college courses) to a 4.39 (6 Ap’s/college courses + 2 honors courses since they only accept 8 weighted grades I heard).
AND IF I TAKE** not just “and take”

As an OOS applicant, only AP/IB classes are weighted, not honors classes for the capped UC GPA. However, UCLA and UCB will also calculate an uncapped weighted (more than the original 8 semesters) that would help if you took above 4 AP/IB classes.
@Gumbymom if i take a full year AP course, that counts as an extra two points to my GPA???
Yes, 1 year long AP course would give you 2 extra honors points toward your GPA. So 4 year long AP courses during 10-11th grades would be 8 Honors points (capped).
