[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP. My kid wants to attend school in California and has grades that seem to be strong for UC admissions (lots of A minuses but no Bs--so a 4.0 under the UC GPA calculation) so in theory will be a stronger applicant under this grading paradigm than for many private universities. [/quote] The way the California schools weight and cap, he'll have a 4.0. The 25th - 75th percentile for weighted and capped GPA at UCLA is 4.37-4.74. He'll be at a huge disadvantage GPA wise. [/quote] I think the GPA will be a 4.3 with the APs added in. 10 core classes between Soph and Junior year, 3 are APs. That gives a GPA of 4.3. [/quote] That puts him in the bottom 25 percent where admission is unlikely.[/quote]
