<p>gpa on transcript 4.02</p>

<p>but uc gpa, if you weight for honors (but i am out of state) is around a 4.39. i weighted my APs and honors, but i did not weight 10th grade english. i was confused over the note about what to weight that’s on the online application, so i did not weight either 10th grade or 11th grade social studies, so the 4.39 should be an underestimate.</p>
