as far as i understand GPA, the UC system uses the 4.0 system, as does my school. this means that it is impossible to get above 4.0. all those kids with GPA’s listed above 4.0 will be readjusted to the UC calculated 4.0 system. those above 4.0 seem to be called “weighted”.

and “unweighted” GPA is what really counts if you ask me. when they adjust their weighted GPA’s they usually fall below 4.0. the weighted GPA’s that i have seen listed on here are all High School GPA’s. I can guess that the UC system does look at AP courses as positive, but I do not think that they ultimately rate kids with higher than 4.0 GPA’s in the UC schools themselves. looking at the UC admission charts they do not go over 4.0. anyway, perhaps there is something that i am missing. good luck peeps!
