<p>My school does a GPA out of 4.5, and I honestly have no idea if it's weighted or not. I am kind of retarded when it comes to stuff like this, so can someone please calculate my GPA out of 4.0, unweighted and weighted? I would appreciate it so much.</p>
<p>Tenth Grade
-English Honors - A
-French - A
-Health - B
-Orchestra Honors - A
-Earth Science Honors - B+
-AP World - B
(this is where I get confused, below are three half year courses, so .5 credits)
-Photography - A+
-Math A3 - A
-Math B1 - B+</p>
<p>Eleventh Grade (these aren't finally so I'm not sure)
-English Honors - A
-French - B
-Math Honors - B
-Chemistry Honors - B+
-AP US History - A+
(half year courses below .5 credits)
-Photography - A
-Sociology Honors - A</p>
<p>i did it and got 3.65/4.0.
that's not weighting anything. As and A+s are the same, that's how most schools will calculate it.</p>
<p>weighting the APs I got 3.75/4.0.</p>
<p>i just did it real quick, so i could have typed something wrong in the calculator or something. but yeah.</p>
<p>keep in mind that some colleges might put emphasis on the honors courses and even weight them a bit too, which i didn't do. that would significantly help.</p>
<p>i use excel and get 3.49 unweighted. what type of schools are you applying to? selective privates typically will throw out your weighted gpa and look only at the counselor letter & school profile to evaluate rigor. state schools and less selective privates will usually strip plus and minus grades and recalculate the gpa themselves, using a variety of methods.</p>
<p>Thank you for the replies! I used the link and I got 3.6 too. I originally calculated it to be 3.2 so that is very refreshing. I think on the transcript my GPA might be weighted out of 4.0, because it says I have a 3.7. </p>
<p>I am looking to apply to Vassar ED, maybe NYU. I'm not sure yet, but Vassar is definitely my top choice. From what I've read I would never get in with the 3.2 I originally calculated, so this is great news. I'm going to visit the campus this summer, so I'll be sure to ask how they calculate the GPA.</p>
