<p>So I thought I had my GPA for the end of my Freshman year... and I had gotten happy with it. However when I requested my transcript for a scholarship... the copy I got was a lot different and I'm a bit mad. Does the change really matter?
(We don't rank, so that's not what I'm worried about) They said my Algebra II grade was a 94.... but they are now telling me it's a 90. Geometry was supposed to be a middle school class... but now it's not. AP Art history was supposed to be listed once, but for some reason had to be listed twice.... and then averaged</p>
<p>From my transcript:</p>
<p>Geometry 97 4w/4un
Algebra II-S 90 3.25w/3.25un
AP Art History 94 2.85w/1.875un *
Pre-cal Honors 99 5w/4un
AP Art History 94 2.85w/1.875un*
Applications of Science (H) 96 5w/4un
Engineering (H) 95 4.870w 3.875
English I (H) 98 5w/4un
Writing (H) 95 4.875w/3.875un </p>
<p>*These are apparently added together... each listing of APAH is .5 credits.</p>
<p>Deep breaths. geez...no, it doesn't matter. HYPSM aren't going to reject you in 3 years solely because your freshman GPA was 4.75 weighted instead of 4.9 weighted. *sigh. I can't believe the audacity of people to ask these preposterous questions on CC sometimes...your lowest grade is a 90, for goodness sakes. If it is not good enough for you, you still have 2 more years before it matters in the college admissions process. Let it go</p>
<p>It doesn't matter. They rework it to their scale anyways, get rid of the pluses and minuses. Therefore, that 90 (A-) and 94 (A) are the same. </p>
<p>You are going to have a VERY long three more years of school if you're already freaking out. Seriously, get off of here and come back after sophomore year.</p>
<p>I think I'm just mad I have to wait like an hour every time I ask for my transcript (several days in advance) because there are always so many errors. </p>
<p>Oh.... and I'm still kicking myself because I got a 90 in Algebra II because I was lazy and ended up doing the entire course in 3 days.... the last 3 days of the course. (It was online)</p>
<p>I'm mad because I didn't do my best. </p>
<p>Anyway... I guess take 4/3 the course load of everyone else in my school might make up for it.</p>
<p>lol aigiqinf you are only a freshman. some colleges don't even really care about freshman grades. no that ur grades are bad. A 90 OH NO! So don't worry you'll get through life. I promise</p>
<p>i would question it. personally, this could just be because your admin is REALLY stupid. Trust me-my grades have gotten switched with the people before and after me in the alphabet MANY times....</p>
<p>okay... so it doesn't really matter. I'll stop beat myself up about it... maybe I'll take the hiatus advice too... (I'd certainly like to go see a movie.)

<p>Well, if you can believe it I was the only person in Algebra II. I think that the 94 was the final and not the final grade. (I saw the online sheet, but I didn't understand it. A 90 was listed and so was a 94...) Thanks however, because if I hadn't been then that would have been a real concern of mine. I typical spend at least an hour when I get my transcript getting weighting etc. related. There's still an error on it, but it really doesn't matter. </p>

That's actually not an updated list. I'll have to do that sometime soon... I read something the other day and I've been thinking... all my EC's pretty much say I can handle stress... but not much else. <em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>Maybe I'll just get over myself.... and not worry about it so much.</p>
