<p>Need an UNWEIGHTED gpa on a 4.0 scale. Naviance not known around here, therefore irrelevant in asking for advice in WI.</p>

3

<p>look at the graph in Navience, it will show where you stand. In our HS we have over 20 AP classes, its hard to believe that you are in a competitive HS with so little depth.</p>

<p>APUSH often taken as a HS sophomore or after regular USH by some in an average WI city school district. Many AP’s offered in nonelite areas of the state, no grade limits, ie can take in any grade. This is what the instate competition is. They do look how many of the most rigorous courses offered at your HS you choose to take. Your school will report this type of info.</p>

<p>EC’s- remember to check spelling- INTRAmural sports? Shorten your EC descriptions, be prepared to select only some- the ones most important to you- for your application.</p>

<p>Calculate your gpa on an unweighted 4.0 scale. A=4, B=3… (A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3). No added points for AP or Honors.</p>
