This is not my opinion, this is directly from the admissions presentation anyone can find on youtube. If you google “UCLA Alumni Scholarships Program Volunteer Information Session 2018” and listen to the presentation made by the Deputy Director of Undergraduate Admissions you can hear the response to this question. He says at about 40 minutes into the presentation that UCLA does not used weighted and capped UC GPA, in fact he indicates “most” UC’s don’t use it, that it is part of a “bygone era”. He explains that they use GPA in combination with local context. The entire presentation is actually quite helpful if you want a very detailed explanation of how UCLA conducts their holistic admissions process.
