Not counting PE, your gpa for UC is 3.82. Your honors/Ap get +1 to gpa for each for a maximum of 8 Semesters

9 A's = 36 grade points
8 B's = 24 grade points
2 C's = 4 grade points

subtotal = 64.

Plus 8 bonus points = 72 total grade points.

Divide by 19 semesters = 3.789

Assumed "LA" = Language Arts, i.e., English. PE does not count, nor does tennis. In our HS, Business & Personal Finance is not a-g, so I excluded that as well.

senior and freshman classes do not count no matter what. If you got two A's in AP Calculus freshman year, it still would not count. So world history doesnt count. If you are wondering why i got 3.82 and he got 3.789, it is because i counted business and finance and he didn't but i am not sure if that is an A-G course. only A-G courses count

depends on when you took the "senior" class. UC does include summer courses taken AFTER Jr year -- when you are technically a senior, or "rising senior" -- in the UC gpa. Just add 'em under Jr year coursework.
