<p>"The University assigns extra points for up to eight semesters of University-certified honors-level and Advanced Placement courses taken in the last three years of high school: A=5 points, B=4 points, C=3 points. No more than two yearlong UC-approved honors level courses taken in the 10th grade may be given extra points."</p>
<p>D: Does this mean only 4 AP's count?</p>
<p>I would assume so, yes. I think their thing is that if you took 11 APs, they don't want to give you credit for 11 classes.</p>
<p>Oh. So the 5.0 GPA doesn't exist. </p>
<p>The highest GPA you could have would be a....4.3?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>If you're really confused, you might contact UCMentor directly. They can give you the most accurate answer.</p>
<p>But note that the APs will still appear on your transcript, so it'll still look good. ^_^</p>
<p>Hm...then why do people take 6 AP's a year? o_O</p>
<p>D: I always thought "every AP you take and get an A...your GPA goes up!!"</p>
<p>Your regular GPA does go up...but therein lies the flaw of the "UC GPA".</p>
<p>D: There's your high school GPA, your 10-12 GPA, and the "UC GPA"</p>
<p>D:!!!</p>
<p>Yup, unfortunately, that's how it works.</p>
<p>It even says all of those on our transcripts:</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: ------
Weighted GPA: ------
UC/CSU GPA: -----</p>
<p>Then it has a class rank for each of those. Kinda silly.</p>
