<p>How do u calculate UC GPA? Better yet, what would mine be?</p>
<p>Sophomore Year
Pre IB Chemistry - C
Pre IB English II - A
AP World History - B
Pre IB Algebra II - B
Pre IB Spanish II - A
Journalism - A</p>
<p>Junior Year
IB Math Studies I - A
AP/IB English III HL - A
IB Psychology SL - A
IB History of the Americas HL - A
IB Biology HL - B
IB Spanish III - A</p>
<p>Online Courses </p>
<p>AP Art History (full year course) - A
AP Macroeconomics (half year course) - A
AP Microeconomics (half year course) - A</p>
<p>A’s = 4.0 points. B’s = 3.0 points. C’s = 2.0 points. But need your semester grades by year, or does your school only give one final mark on your transcript? </p>
<p>In any event, I’ll convert:</p>
<p>8 A’s = 32 points
3 B’s = 9 points
1 C = 2 points
Total HS grade points = 43*2 semesters = 86.</p>
<p>Add in 4.0 x 4 semesters for online courses = 102.</p>
<p>Add 8 bonus points for AP/IB courses = 110.</p>
<p>Divide by 28 semester equivalents = 3.93 UC gpa</p>
<p>that doesnt sound good.</p>
<p>thanks though! </p>
<p>how bad is that, in regard to the more prestigious UCs?</p>
<p>Zlakhani1: that’s not bad at all. Compare that with the stats for the 9 UCs here:</p>
<hr>
<p>Here is a UC site in which you can see the admit stats by both GPA and SAT for the nine UC schools. You’ll find your stats are a little below the median at Berkeley and UCLA, just at the median at UCSD, just slightly above Davis, Irvine and Santa Barbara, and significantly above Santa Cruz, Riverside and Merced.</p>
<p>[University</a> of California: StatFinder](<a href=“http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx]University”>http://statfinder.ucop.edu/statfinder/default.aspx)</p>
<p>Choose from the menus:</p>
<p>1) Undergraduate Admission
2) Freshmen entered from High School
3) Fall 2007
4) California Residents
5) choose the schools – e.g. UCLA, UCD, UCSB, UCD, UCI, UCSC
6) Admissions rates and counts
7) Simple Table
8) High School GPA, Weighted, Capped -and- Total SAT Reasoning Score
9) Run Table</p>
<p>Caveat 1: The big range in each band: The SAT ranges are very large within each band, so keep in mind the ave. acceptance at 1825 is a lot lower than the ave acceptance at 2075, even though both are in the 1800-2100 band. There is a curve within each band that is not specified here.</p>
<p>Caveat 2 - Bonus points for “Life Challenges”: Some school place huge importance on Life Challenge categories like 1st gen college, single parent home, lousy high school, participation in academic advancement program, etc. Since these bonus points (actuall points at UCSD and UCD and subjective points at the rest) are unknown on these tables, people who fall in these categories will likely get in with lower stats, and people with higher stats with none of these bonus points could be rejected even with very high stats.</p>
