<p>I attempted to get UW credits in my high school. I was a sophomore at the time, when they first offered UW PreCalculus in high school. Though I did bad and I saw myportal on UW (I got accepted to UW by the way so I'm starting in the fall). Though I saw my grade point average is 0.7 on the UW portal website.</p>
<p>Yeah... moving from Algebra 2 to PreCalculus was a huge step for a sophomore. Since it was the first year, we mainly didn't do much instructional help or such. We mainly did textbook work and all the problems were word problems. It was very difficult for me, as it wasn't simple algebra anymore at that time. Then when I had to take the final test, it was combined with the EOC (End of Course Exam) where I only got half of the time to finish the final... So that's why I did horrible in this class (But I did get at least a B in high school for the class because the teachers had to curve the test hardcore due to mostly everyone failing)</p>
<p>Would this seriously affect me when I begin to start school in UW?</p>
<p>I doubt it. It will count towards your overall GPA, but since you will be taking many other credits, it won’t impact your GPA too much. Also, since the dean’s list is done every quarter, and it is based on that quarter’s GPA only, it will not impact whether or not you get on the dean’s list in your first quarter (or any quarter thereafter). </p>
<p>Ah I see. So I wouldn’t have to worry about my overall GPA then? I plan to go into medical school after the University of Washington, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t get accepted if I got a really low grade.</p>
<p>I doubt a medical school will be concerned about a university grade that you got while still in high school. Like I said, it WILL count toward your overall GPA, but since it was (probably) worth 5 credits and you will be taking at least 180 credits, the total impact on your GPA will be very small. I seriously doubt it would be the difference between getting into medical school and not getting in. </p>
<p>Even if it did, there’s no way of avoiding it. All grad schools require you to submit transcripts from all universities you’ve ever attended, so you would need to show them this grade regardless of whether you matriculated at UW. </p>
