Do you think I should try and challenge this?

<p>So I was looking at my school's GPA scale and there were a couple of things they do that seem kind of weird. So first of all they don't even calculate our unweighted GPAs so the only GPA we have is on this incredibly inconvenient 5.0 (6.0 is the maximum with 100s in all AP classes) scale where for every 10 percentage points it goes down a point (so a 100 in a regular class is a 5.0 a 90 is a 4.0 and so on). Anyways I came to the school I'm at right now from Exeter where my grades were okay (except in Physics) but the way that they transferred the credits over I get no weight for the credits transferred because they weren't specifically AP or Pre-AP classes. So my C in physics which was much harder than any class even offered at the school I go to now (to put it in perspective I have an A in AP physics here in the same unit I got a D in at Exeter in regular introductory physics) is added to my GPA as a 2.0 while the people I go to school with now, even those that barely passed Pre-AP physics with a 70, received at least a 3.0. I'm in the same situation with my technology credit. While kids here were taking a class that literally just teaches you how to use Microsoft office I was taking a class on programming. </p>

<p>Do you think it would be worth it to argue to get my classes weighted? This is really screwing my class rank up but at the same time I don't want to **** the administration off right when I'm applying to colleges.</p>

<p>It is definitely you will want to explain in your admission essays! Have you tried seeing if someone from Exeter can talk to the people at your new school about how to evaluate their grades?</p>

<p>definately explain it on your app. if you can, get someone from your new school or exeter to explain your situation</p>

<p>do you think the education interruption section on the common app is enough? I can just upload a document explaining the situation.</p>
