Yet another question on GPA calculation

Applying to College
1

<p>My sister goes to a UC and she says the college reports only a "UC GPA" that includes only the classes that you take at a UC. All the AP and JC classes that you took are well and good counting units for the degree, but it doesn't figure in the GPA calculation.</p>

<p>Do the other top 25 colleges do pretty much the same thing i.e. ignore extraneous classes in the GPA calculation?</p>

<p>Finally, if that's the case, will Grad schools bother to recalculate GPA? Are you better off padding your college schedule with easy classes to build a better college GPA?</p>

<p>Colleges may take credit for AP classes but you get no grade for them. Grad schools will scrutinize your undergrad class choice for rigor just like colleges do.</p>
