Hi so I am a high school senior who is in the process of filling out my Common Application. Under Cumulative GPA, would I enter my GPA from 9-11 total GPA or 9-11 academic GPA or 10-11 total GPA or 10-11 academic GPA?
I am so confused. Thank you!
What’s on your transcript?
@bodangles my transcript provides Acad GPA (9-12) Acad GPA (10-12) Total GPA (9-10). my highest is definitely Acad GPA (10-12) since the academic GPA takes out P.E. which is a regular (not honors) class and lowers my GPA
Well, I understand your confusion now, lol. Personally I would put the most inclusive measure–all grades, all subjects. If the schools want to recalculate it, they can do so. They’ll have your transcripts too.
So… For whatever reason, my transcript has my middle school math grades on it (I took Algebra in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th, and those count as college prep classes, hence their inclusion.) Is using that TOO inclusive? I feel like it is, but I also feel like I should put down everything that’s on my transcript…
