    • How to Calculate Your UC GPA

      Which years UC counts, the three UC GPAs, honors weighting and the honors caps — with a worked example of the capped weighted GPA.

    • The A-G Requirements, Explained

      The fifteen college-prep courses UC and CSU require — the seven subject areas, the rules inside math, science and language, the C-or-better bar, and how 7th/8th-grade courses count.

    • How UC Campus Matches Work

      How your GPA is compared to admitted-student ranges at each UC campus — where the data comes from, what the middle-50% range means, and why UCLA and Berkeley use the Fully Weighted GPA.

    Want all of this done for you?
