<p>Actually this is a general question about UC GPA (but there is a supplementary question about UCSD points below)</p>

<p>I do not know if I did this correctly but here are my classes</p>

<p>GPA (unweighted): 4.0 (all a’s)</p>

<p>10th: AP Chemistry, AP World History, Spanish III Honors, English II Honors, PE (not a-g), Algebra II/Trig
11th: Pre-Calculus H (uc weighted), Spanish IV Honors (uc weighted), AP Studio Art, AP Physics, AP Language and Comp., AP US History</p>

<p>So…</p>

<p>10th grade 5 a-g classes x 4 points = 20
11th grade 6 a-g classes x 4 points = 24
8 UC Approved Honors= 8
-----
52/11 (classes) = 4.7 </p>

<p>And so if the rough estimate for GPA points (UCSD) is GPAx1000 would I receive close to the 4500 points</p>

<p>thank you!!!</p>

<p>anyone???</p>

3

<p>wow … you couldn’t wait a whole 30 minutes?</p>

<p>(sorry, i can’t do math.)</p>

4

<p>sorry, I’m a little frantic sometimes
that’s ok, thank you for the reply anyway</p>

5

<p>you would recieve 4500 eventhough you have a 4.7 GPA because 4500 points is the maximum they reward for GPA.</p>

6

<p>You actually only count up to 8 semesters of approved AP/Honors classes. Not 8 AP Classes</p>

7

<p>lee3522
so basically + 8 bonus points right?</p>

8

<p>lee3522: that is what he did 20 from 10th + 24 from 11th + 8 AP/H= 52</p>

9

<p>10th grade: 10 semesters x 4 = 40
11th grade: 12 semesters x 4 = 48

  • maximum of 8 bonus = 96</p>

<p>96 / 22 = 4.36 = 4360 points</p>

<p>The only way to get all 4500 points is if you only take 16 semesters of a-g classes in 10th and 11th grade. (But then people who do this would have to take 24 semesters of a-g classes during 7th, 8th, 9th, and 12th grades to get the full 500 points for the “number of classes” category.)</p>

10

<p>why is it that the more amounts of A-G courses you take the lesser your GPA becomes?
im sort of regretting taking so many A-G courses…</p>

<p>ebpcanimal: I thought he had said semesters not class for some stupid reason eventhough it wouldnt be impossible to take only 11 Semesters. </p>

<p>Spatel23: No dont regret it! Me and you are on the 4 by 4 Block schedule and we are able to get that 500 points for taking for more than 40 A-G Semester. Do you honestly think that you could boost your GPA by .5 by taking less A-G? because +.5 GPA= 500=500 points you get for taking more than 40. It highly unlikely that your GPA would go up by more than .5.</p>

<p>For example, it would be better to take a lot of A-G classes to get over 40 and let your GPA slide by .2-.3 in the process because you gain 500 points that way. You would be better off: minus 200 to 300 points +500 gained for taking more than 40= +200-300 Points</p>

12

<p>*WOULD be impossible to take only 11 semesters</p>

<p>thank you everyone especially ebpcANIMAL</p>

<p>it seemed a little ridiculous when i initially calculated it</p>
