When applying to college from a college prep private school, do colleges add a certain amount of points to your GPA? Or do they just take into account the rigor of your school. I have heard that coming from a college prep school, colleges baisically look at your GPA with an added .5 Obviously this would help a lot since I might be looking at a 3.1-3.2 when I’m done. Maybe .5 might be too over stated but that is what I’ve heard. If this is true would it be more like .3-.5 or is this completely overstated and false?
No, they don’t add points. Yes, they take into account the rigor of your classes and, in some cases, your school’s track record.
