What is my UC/Cal Poly SLO GPA?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm only a junior and I'm not exactly sure how the GPA is calculated in UCs and in Cal Poly SLO. I want to do architecture. I started well during freshman year, screwed up sophomore year and as a junior my grades are getting better.</p>

<p>Here are my grades (1st semester/2nd semester)...
9th grade:
PE: A/A
Honors Geometry: B/B-
Honors English: B/B-
Spanish 2: B/C
Computer Draft 1: A/A-
1st semester: Health- A 2nd semester: Honors History - B</p>

<p>10th grade:
PE: A+/A
Honors Algebra 2: C/D+ (made up for it online, got an A-)
Honors English: C/B-
AP World: C/B-
Spanish 3: C/C
Biology: C/C
Computer Draft 2: B+/A-</p>

<p>11th grade (assume I get the same grades for 2nd semester):
PreCalculus: B+
English: A-
AP US History: B-
Chemistry: B-
Physics: B-
AP Human Geography: B-
Engineering Tech: A</p>

<p>My weighted GPA for 10-11th grade (assuming I get the same grades in 2nd semester 11th grade as in 1st semester) is 3.156. If you add 9th grade, it would be 3.215. I heard though that UCs and Cal Poly have a different way of calculating GPA and I'm not exactly sure how it works.</p>

<p>So based on this...
A) What would be my UC GPA?
B) What would be my Cal Poly SLO GPA?
C) I'm also considering University of Oregon... what would be my GPA there?</p>

<p>I’m too lazy to calculate it for you. UC gpa is like a capped weighted gpa so only 8 semesters of AP/H classes are weighted. Only sophomore and junior year grades count. AP/H: A=5 pts B=4 pts etc Normal classes: A=4, B=3 etc. Have a nice calculator. CSUs and UCs calculate gpa the same way. </p>

<p>Ex: if you have 4 A’s, put 4 in the A column. If you have 4 semesters of AP/honor classes, put 4 in the honors column. </p>

<p>If you are out of state, then only your AP and not honor classes count. If you are in state, check with this site to see which of your honor classes are UC approved and can be counted in your gpa</p>

<p>Edit: As for U Oregon, my amazing googling skills tells me that they use a cumulative unweighted high school gpa.</p>

<p>Thanks! It says I have a 3.24</p>

<p>I live in California. So basically if I want to apply to the University of Oregon, APs and Honors classes are worth the same (GPA-wise) as regular classes? And do they count freshman year grades?</p>

<p>On the Cal Poly SLO site, it says they count freshman year grades too. So do I just add those grades to that GPA calculator link you gave me?</p>
