UC Irvine GPA Calculator?

Hello all, I'm considering applying to UC Irvine and I want to know my GPA the way they do. Anyone aware of UC Irvine's GPA calculation method or any specific calculator they use? Any help would be awesome!

The UC system, including UC Irvine, calculates GPA using something called the UC GPA. It's somewhat unique, focusing on grades earned in "a-g" courses completed in grades 10 and 11. Here's a brief explanation on how to do it:

Step 1: First, identify the classes you took in 10th and 11th grade that meet the "a-g" subject requirements. These are generally college prep classes in areas like History, English, Math, Lab Science, Language other than English, Visual and Performing Arts, and College Prep Electives.

Step 2: Next, assign each grade a point value (A = 4 points, B = 3 points, C = 2 points, and D = 1 point).

Step 3: If any of these are Honors, AP, or IB classes, add a one-point bonus for each semester grade of C or higher (maximum of 8 points).

Step 4: Sum up all the points and then divide by the total number of semesters of "a-g" classes you took to obtain your weighted and capped GPA.

Please note, the UC system does not factor in grades from PE, ROTC, or other classes not on the "a-g" list. Also, plusses or minuses (like A+ or B-, etc) do not change the point totals - an A is an A, whether it's an A- or A+.

So, unfortunately, there's not a specific "UC Irvine GPA Calculator" available, but many online GPA calculators should be able to replicate this system if you're not keen on doing the math yourself. Remember to always check with UC Irvine's admission office if you have more specific questions related to your situation!
