It isn’t necessary for the colleges, but to get an accurate chance me from the posters here. There is wide variety in how schools weigh courses and no standard, which is why the CC chance me template requests unweighted GPA.
Thank you .
Already applied and did early action and essays. Do you mean gabelli at Lincoln ? Thats the choice but heard it is more competitive. the 2 C+ doesnt eliminate her chances ? her grades showed an upward trend in 11th
Yes, I meant Gabelli at LC. I don’t think the 2 C+ grades puts her out of the running, although calculating an unweighted GPA would help us know more.
ETA: I see on the other thread that her Unweighted GPA is ~3.34. Yes, that does lower her chances.
Fordham is one of her top choices. that is a little disappointing … wonder if they will do unweighted or weighted. covid year was hard on her just like for many students.
All schools weigh differently, so to compare it’s easier to use unweighted. My daughter had one B, 9 AP’s, rest honors, ended up with a 3.9+ uw and 4.2 W. Covid was hard on all students, but puts them on a pretty even playing field (mine had 1 1/2 years online, but so did their peers).
Schools have many different ways of weighting, so you cannot compare them. Instead, people talk about grades and rigor separately.
Grades: what is UW GPA. Recalculate so A=4, A-= 3.7, etc
Rigor: how many honors, how many APs (or IB or DE). More granular: stats vs BC Calc, etc - some APs are harder than others
This is the closest you can get to comparing apples to apples.
Are you sure you calculated UW correctly? It would be unusual to have almost a full 1.0 gap between UW and W - that suggests almost all AP classes throughout high school which seems unlikely.
Many schools don’t weight classes when calculating a GPA. Rigor is assessed separately.
Calculate an unweighted GPA like this…Any type of A=4, B=3 and so on. So, don’t weight any + or - grades differently.
I can’t chance your D but would look to the HS counselor and Naviance or Scoir to help categorize a school. My sense is Fordham Gabelli is reachy with a 3.34 unweighted, if that is still accurate.
Make sure your D has at least one affordable safety that she would like to attend. Then a handful of matches, and a few reaches. Good luck.
