I just learned that CAL and UCLA uses “uncapped” UC GPA. How is this GPA calculated? Are they computed from 10 and 11 grade, like the eligibility index?

Stats from CAL website, freshman class averages:
Average unweighted GPA
3.91
Average weighted GPA
4.34

Are these weighted averages uncapped or capped at 8 credits? Does CAL/UCLA look at unweighted GPA, capped weighted GPA, or uncapped weighted GPA. I am totally confused…
