Answer 1

For the UC System, including UCLA, only your 10th and 11th grade UC-approved courses are counted in your GPA calculation for the application.

To specifically quote UCLA:

"The academic elements we consider are:

* Academic grade point average (GPA), calculated using 10th and 11th grade UC–approved courses only."

See http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_fr/fradms.htm for the above reference and a complete list of selection criteria.

But keep in mind that UCLA reserves the right to retract your acceptance if you fail to complete your senior year coursework with good grades.

Answer 2

Absolutely. Your GPA when you graduate from high school shows the progress you have made throughout school. So if you have a higher GPA your senior year of high school, you will raise your cumulative GPA (which is the GPA that universities look at). How much your GPA raises depends on the weight that your high school puts on the letter grades (for example...A+ may weigh more than A -)

Answer 3

i think your GPA senior year counts just as much if not more than your regular GPA. Colleges are watching to see if you slack off your senior, and if you do your chances for admission go down just that much more.

although with your GPA I really wouldn't lose sleep over it. Way to go ! I'm jealous!

Answer 4

in case you prepare interior the Spring, they're going to evaluate the 1st semester of Senior 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. otherwise, they could or would possibly no longer. With a 4.a million although, U must be waiting to get into UCLA relatively.

Answer 5

Yes is counts! They will average them in together.
