4.8 gpa

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Would have a 5.0 this semester but due to the required Sex Education class, it dropped my gpa to a 4.8. Since getting an A in that class is only worth a 4.0</p>

<p>What should I do? I'm trying to get them to let me take it for pass/fail credit, but I've heard they stopped that several years ago.</p>

2

<p>Get over it and take the class. Does it really matter?</p>

3

<p>Just take the class..I'm going through the exact same thing. Dumb required class for health/pe is 4.0 and I cant do nothing about it.</p>

4

<p>just take the class! if it's a required class, then everyone in school will be affected, so chill. I had to take a required health class freshman year, any my gpa still worked out fine in the end</p>

5

<p>Colleges only look at UW so it doesn't matter. Weighted is a way for them to seduce you into taking Honors/AP courses.</p>

6

<p>take the class.. what can one class do to you?</p>

7

<p>^ I swear on my dog's life that Harvard won't freak out that you did not take IB/AP/Honors health.</p>

8

<p>Colleges understand that everyone has to take useless required classes.</p>

<p>@ pricipalviola: we dont have honors health and i'm sorta glad we dont</p>

<p>Speaking of sex ed, I randomly came up with a little memory device that summarizes a semester's worth of that class:</p>

<p>"Don't be a d**k, wrap your stick. When in doubt, don't whip it out."</p>

<p>I thought it was funny.</p>

11

<p>derivate stop obsessing over a couple of decimal points in your gpa...</p>

12

<p>Ivy, I was jk. </p>

<p>No school in their bloody right minds will invest in such a class.</p>

13

<p>You know colleges don't care about weighted GPA? Cause in my school an A in an AP is a 4.488 but in yours its a 5. So they can't decide anything on weighted.</p>

14

<p>If colleges only care about unweighted, why should I bother taking AP/honors classes that I'll get B's in compared to regular classes that are easy A's...</p>

15

<p>Because they want to see that you can thrive in top environment.</p>

Colleges don't care about weighted or unweighted, they care about what each means at your school.</p>

<p>Most Rigorous Curriculum with 3.0 UW is much greater than Easiest Curriculum 4.0 UW</p>
