All GPAs are calculated from courses taken in grades 10 and 11.
- The fully weighted GPA includes an extra grade point for all UC-approved honors courses (which include AP, IB, school-based honors and transferable college courses) in which a grade of C or higher is earned. The maximum value possible is 5.00.
- This Unweighted GPA does not include any extra grade points for honors courses. The maximum value possible is 4.00.
Honors Courses included in the totals below are taken in grades 10–12 and are counted by semester, which means a year-long high school honors course would count as two. A single-semester course would count as one.
- Domestic refers to applicants who are US citizens, permanent residents, refugees or asylees.
