Good chance for those schools…Stanford etc. would not be forgiving.

I don’t think you’re computing your UC GPA correctly. It should only include 10th and 11th grade info.

Yes, it’s correct. My UC GPA is 3.75. I put it through the CSU/UC calculator and it includes two CCC classes over the summer which counts as honors. @“Erin’s Dad”
