Harder to get into UC from a high performing CA high school?

Self-reported weighted GPAs are generally unreliable, since weighting methods vary all over the place. Only recalculated weighted GPAs using the same method (e.g. GPAs recalculated by the UC weighted-capped method) can be reliably compared with each other.

So if the GPAs found on Parchment are weighted ones of unknown weighting method, they cannot be reliably compared.

Presumably, your high school’s Naviance uses the same weighted GPA calculation for all students. But it may not necessarily be the same as the UC weighted-capped GPA that is used in most UC reporting.
