Do UC's only look at 10th and 11th grade GPA?
Answered

I have a pretty good overall GPA but I'm not sure if mine is as stellar when looking specifically at 10th and 11th grade. And do the UC's recalculate GPA? I was a bit confused about that as well.

UC's only look at A-G courses taken in 10th and 11th grade. Therefore, they recalculate your GPA by only including A-G courses in 10th and 11th grade. Approved AP/Honors course work is ​weighted​ (given an extra point) for a maximum of 8 semesters.

Great question! We a have a couple streams that walk through these topics, including UC GPA and A-G requirements. In the first, Yesh walks through calculating your UC GPA, and the second is by Elias on getting into UCLA which I have linked below: https://www.collegevine.com/livestreams/4141/the-uc-application https://www.collegevine.com/livestreams/4145/in-for-the-win-how-to-get-into-ucla
