'lo, and please forgive me for my ignorance

Our highschool calculates GPA in the following manner:

GPA = GPA(unweighted) + 0.05*APs + n*(number of classes over 15).

I can't remember what the over-15 multiplier is.

By this system, I should have a comfortable margin over 4.0, but I'm curious about how UC Berkeley re-weighs these, if at all. Where can I find how UC Berkeley does this for highschool grades?

Also, how much does Cal use standardized test scores as an admission factor?

I'm an out-of-stater, does that hurt?

What else does Cal take into consideration?

Oh, and how does one convert a percentage grade (what they give at my school) to a GPA point avg thing (by the Cal system)?

For example, if I have a 93 in one class, and a 97 in another, what are the GP's for both?
