I’m an out of state student.
I’m kind of confused on which classes I should count. I know that PE does not count for the UC GPA and only 10th and 11th grades count.
Does Health and Dance class count?
Do summer school classes between 11th and 12th grade count?
Do courses taken at a 4 year university not in California count?
The a-g course requirements are the following and are included in your GPA:
http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
History/social science (“a”) – Two years, including one year of world history, cultures and historical geography and one year of U.S. history, or one-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of American government or civics.
English (“b”) – Four years of college preparatory English that integrates reading of classic and modern literature, frequent and regular writing, and practice listening and speaking.
Mathematics (“c”) – Three years of college-preparatory mathematics that include or integrate the topics covered in elementary and advanced algebra and two- and three-dimensional geometry.
Laboratory science (“d”) – Two years of laboratory science providing fundamental knowledge in at least two of the three disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
Language other than English (“e”) – Two years of the same language other than English or equivalent to the second level of high school instruction.
Visual and performing arts (“f”) – One year chosen from dance, music, theater or the visual arts.
College-preparatory elective (“g”) – One year chosen from the “a-f” courses beyond those used to satisfy the requirements above, or courses that have been approved solely in the elective area.
PE and Health not included. Dance would be under the (f) Visual and performing arts.
Make sure as an OOS applicant you meet all these required courses or your application will not be considered. Summer classes between 11th and 12th are included in the GPA calculation. College classes will be considered as AP classes and 1 semester= 1 year on the application.
No Honors classes are considered for the extra honors points as an OOS applicant. Only AP/IB or college classes.
“College classes will be considered as AP classes and 1 semester= 1 year on the application.”
Will college classes from California community colleges factor in for UC GPA if they are not listed on the approved a-g list for the college on the UC website https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist#/list/search/all
but the class is UC transferable? Thanks
If you take the college classes while in HS as Dual Enrollment or in addition to your regular HS courses, then yes they are included in your UC GPA and are weighted as Honors classes. Just remember the UC GPA calculator only allows for 8 semesters of Honors points in the calculation (capped).
