<p>Hey everyone...</p>
<p>So quick question. My counselor stated that for eligibility, the 8 semester thing goes in effect, but when LA considers us for admission, they will weigh more classes. In my case, i took 7 classes that can be weighed for 10-11, only 5 of which are "UC Approved" to weight, and he said LA would weight all 5, not stop at 4.</p>
<p>This is true right?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>you get 8 semesters of honors pts. Thus, if you took 5 2-semester "UC approved" courses over your tenth and eleventh grades, you will only get an extra point for EIGHT semesters (four classes).</p>
<p>*btw, this policy really SUCKS but its the way it is.</p>
<p>yeah its unfortunate. Id have 6 more points hahaha. But i thikn its the UC's way of stopping appliants from getting straight b's and take all ap/honors classes.</p>
<p>hmm, well that was my question, the difference between ELIGIBILITY and actual review, because it makes sense to be eligible "UC GPA" to count 4 , but i was thinking they may count more when reviewing, according to my counselor...and it kind of makes sense when you see how high the "average" is, if they weighed more.</p>
<p>might be wrong, but yeah.</p>
<p>ive heard of that actually but its not something to depend on. LA and Cal post stats of their weighted gpa acceptance percantages and so what (i.e. 4.0 w and above 51 percent to make it, 3.7-3.99 11 percent to make it) and adding ALL weigthed points would screw those results and really it would make the weighted average higher since u have pyschos with like 4.5's. I'm sure they will look at thte rigor of ur schedule and that will be taken in account for but dont wish for something wihtout realizing the drawbacks</p>
<p>for sure Flong...i have like ~3.92...</p>
<p>ok sat 2060 , undeclared social sciences, i really think my essays and ecs shine though, so i hope i can make it.</p>
<p>i hope you do too : ). hopefully your sat 2's were solid though. I heard if u are in the 2nd grouping your sat 2's had to be high or your sat 1 had to be 21+</p>
<p>thanks Flong, i hope we both get in. YR OF THE UNDERDOG MAN, i can seriously feel it. My sat IIS were...blah =(...680 BIO E, 700 US HISTORY</p>
<p>hahah it kinda is. the new holistic admissions helps us i think?</p>
