<p>I'm a junior. Next year this is my schedule:</p>
<p>Precalculus (Weighted)
Computer Science (Weighted)
AP Chemistry
AP Biology
AP Literature
Spanish III</p>
<p>I have never taken an AP class, but I have a B in Honors Alg II. Math=weakest subject.
I had high A's in Language Arts, Chemistry, and Biology, so is this too much of a workload? IF I get all A's, I will boost my GPA from a 3.3 to 3.6 by graduation. It will show my GPA in freshman year as 2.46. Senior would be 4.83. Good Idea? Consider: 2.46 to 4.83.</p>
<p>i know for a fact that colleges always recalculate gpas to make it fair for all so u may well have a 4.0099983545334 or wutever even if ur school doesnt but for your rank ur screwed....into a light socket</p>
<p>First of all, elite colleges don't look at weighted GPAs, because they assume that their applicants have all taken a hard classes. All colleges will check out your courseload, and it REALLY helps if you've taken AP and honors courses.<br>
Also, colleges care most about your most recent grades. If you botched up freshman year, your chances of getting into Princeton or Harvard are significantly reduced. However, if you've shown improvement (like you seem to be doing), you still have a shot at a lot of great schools. In general, I suggest that you focus on getting the best grades that you can while taking the most strenuous classes that you can. This sounds cheesy, but if you put your focus on getting a high school education that is valuable to you (and not just something that you will get you to the next point in life) your grades will improve. In addition, your college applications may become stronger, because you might come across as being more passionate about your education.</p>
