Thanks @healthandmusic my school does GPA very differently. it is out a 4.3 where an A+ is a 4.3 and an A is a 4.0. I’ve only gotten 2 A- in my high school career ( one being a minor class that most colleges would not use to recalculate my GPA) Really I have a 3.98/4.0 but it is reported as 4.13 which annoys me to no end. I can only hope that a college looks at my transcript and sees no Bs and wonders why it is calculated that way… or recalculate it. Apparently the 4.3 system is supposed to give more weight to AP and help but I really don’t understand it. It just brings down everyone’s GPA in AP classes because it is impossible to get A+s in some of them.
and @Oberyn i totally understand! I have only ever posted one other chance me for gtown in the gtown thread and it was answered by a college student ( after decisions were released so not very good at calming my nerves). I thought mostly college students would respond. thanks for saying i am a compettive applicant because I really am going into this process blind. my mother didn’t go to college until her late 20s and that was one of those online programs, so i really have had 0 guidance in this process… I was about to just go to Seoul instead of attending college here, because if I couldn’t get into a 100% demonstrated need school, I would not be able to afford it, and dont’t want the loans, but thankfully it looks like I can stay in the U.S. but I’m kind of sad because Seoul is the bomb…
