Most probably. You have a great SAT score, an amazing number of APs, and a decent GPA. Try to bring up your GPA to even out the playing field. But other than that, I think you are set. One other factor - where do you live? Do you live in Cali? If so, it will be easier to get in.
2200 or higher for sure. your gpa is too low
They will almost always tell you if you look hard enough on the application or call someone at the college. Most schools want your unweighted GPA, although many will look at both.

Weighted GPA
There are two types of GPAs that high schools can report to colleges. Depending on your high school, your transcript can report a weighted GPA or an unweighted GPA (or both). Check with your guidance counselor if you're unsure of your school's policy.A weighted GPA is going to give you brownie points for challenging yourself with harder classes. For example, Advanced Placement and Honors classes are generally more difficult and demanding than Academic classes are. Therefore, many schools offer an extra quality point that can be added to the GPA to "make up" for the difficulty. For example, a "B" in an AP class may be translated into an "A" in an academic class, based on a weighted GPA. Weighted GPAs can also factor in any +'s you might have. For example, an A+ would be given extra points over an A.An unweighted GPA however strips all these brownie points away and leaves you with exactly what you've earned in your classes. A B is a B is a B, according to an unweighted GPA, and an A+ becomes a regular A. In the American education system used by most high schools, the highest unweighted GPA is a 4.0. (Weighted varies widely).SAMPLE GPA SCALEGrade Earned/ UW GPA/ W GPAA....................4.0...........5.0B....................3.0...........4.0C....................2.0...........3.0D....................1.0...........2.0F................No credit......1.0It's important that you challenge yourself with AP/Honors classes. The weighting can really help out your GPA. You should be warned though, most colleges will recalculate weighted GPAs on their own scale (which is always unweighted).
If you mean UConn I'd say a 3.25 unweighted GPA and a 4.25 weighted QPA would be more than enough...
Brown doesn't calculate GPA...
At my school for all honors level classes an extra 0.5 on your gpa, and Advanced Placement courses are an extra 1.0 on your g.p.a. but there are different methods for other schools. check your student handbook.
it shouldn't affect your unweighted GPA, as long as your weighted GPA is higher than a 4.0 then your unweighted stays a 4.0 (hopefully this makes sense)
If it is based on a 100% scale, yes, it is a good GPA.
1800 is good enough that most schools aren't going to reject you out of hand for it, but it's not so good that they'll be falling over themselves to get you. Go ahead and apply to your dream school. But apply to a couple of state colleges as "safety" schools too.
Law schools are not concerned with your Grade 8 GPA. They want to see your college GPA.
