<p>ok i read that UCD calculates your high school gpa from just your sophomore and junior years. is that true? and do they look at your unweighted and weighted GPAs? which one is more important?</p>

<p>its sophomore and junior grades weighted</p>

<p>Also, the grades are only counted on an ABCDF scale, so there is no A- or B+ or B- etc, just flat ABCDF, meaning grade points of A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.</p>

<p>This can help if you have a lot of minuses, and hurt if you have a lot of pluses.</p>

<p>it is only sophomore and junior year and 8 semesters of AP/Honors classes can be weighted in. It also counts summer course like after your freshman summer and after sophomore summer because those count towards sophomore/junior grades. Not all honors classes get the extra credit so you should check your school’s list. A=4,B=3,C=2,D=1,F=0
AP classes have 1 extra point for anything that is a C or higher.</p>
