[ilzzuni]

hello~~~
does anybody know whether UC schools like Berkeley and LA ignores grades from art, foreign languages and music classes or not?
'cause they are my grade killers~~T.T
also, can anybody tell me whether they sees grades transferred from foreign countries?

These are the steps for calculating your UC (University of California) GPA:

1. Disregard freshman and senior year grades.
2. Take all the A-G* courses you have and add them up, with 4 being an A, 3 a B, 2 a C, 0 for D and F
3. Divide one point for each AP or UC-approved honors course up to 8 points
4. Divide by the total number of classes you used to calculate your total
