SAT, mid 50% range: 1720-1960 (Critical Reading, Math and Writing sections)</p>

<p>Oh okay thanks.</p>

<p>When Elon quotes GPA, it’s a weighted GPA. Their weighting system gives a 4.0 for an A in a college-prep course, a 5.0 for an A in an honors course, and a 6.0 for an A in an AP course. Compare your GPA accordingly.</p>

<p>Oh okay , I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks</p>

<p>Does the admissions office recalculate every applicant’s GPA with that method?</p>

<p>I believe they do. That’s pretty standard at most colleges, to re-calculate a GPA using their own method. Also if they do it for some kids they have to do it for all kids.</p>

<p>Does anyone know anything about the independent major ? I’m thinking of doing something in forensics like forensic psychology. I know their psychology program does have some law and psych classes.</p>

<p>About the weighting – if a hs has 4 levels of classes… AP, accelerated, honors, and college prep, from highest to lowest, would they still weight an honors A as a 5.0? If so, what would an accelerated A be? A 5.5?</p>

<p>^^great question to contact your state’s admissions officer about; and introduce yourself while you are at it; kills two birds with one stone!!</p>
