Reply to "Did I make a mistake?"

ILVBB: Not sure I understand what you are saying about the UC admission process. As I understand it, theirs is a straight mathematical computation. To calculate the GPA based upon honors/AP classses, credit (one point per class) is given for 2 honors/AP classes per semester (all of these honors/AP classes must be on their recognized list in order to get this extra point per class) for a total of 8 extra points only, from the 4 semesters of your sophomore and junior year. The UCs do not consider grades from freshman or senior year in their application process. Then they do the regular multiplication and division to get the GPA.

So, I guess in that sense the more rigourous HS programs don't get full credit, because if you take 3-4 honors/AP classes per semester, the UC's only give credit for 2.
