I am a senior. I currently have 4.12 weighted GPA and 3.71 unweighted GPA. I was wandering when college ask for like 4.25 or 4.3 weighted GPA is that only sophmore and junior GPA only? or does the senior year take part also because i think i will have 4.5 by the end of seniuor year. but if i send application in october/november they would see that i have a 4.12 GPA? so how does that work ?

I believe that even though your GPA does matter, it is not the only factor the colleges are looking for, no matter what college. They are also looking for: Did you do sports, clubs? Did you help out after school? Did you do volunteer work? SAT scores also is a factor. Also, the thing that people are saying that your senior year doesn't count is bologna. Every year counts, no matter what grade or semester.

I would put your unweighted GPA, but that's because I never grew up with weighted/unweighted. Call the business office of UCLA if you have any question.
Estimate your grades for the year and calculate them in. Don't be afraid to be humble. If you know you can get an A, put a B to be on the safe side.
Honestly though, they just use GPA to determine your entrance. They use your SAT to determine scholarships and the final admissions acceptance (or denial). GPA isn't as important as your SAT/ACT.

you can look up their admissions requirements. And no, they probably won't care about your 4.12, since the scale only goes up to 4.0. I don't know quite why high schools get so excited over that weighted nonsense.

your senior year doesn't count its only sophomore n junior year.
UCLA is very competitive, about 48,000 people applied there in 2005 and about 12,000 got accepted. they are looking for well rounded students and the essay is what usually determines whether you get in or not

First semester of senior year counts.
