In my high school, from the 10th grade, I’ve been taking dual enrollment classes (in math and english) that are offered by my school. For the math classes specifically, an A is 93.5+ and an A- is 89.5-93.4. I’ve taken 6 math dual enrollment classes, and I’ve only gotten an A- on 2 of them. On my hs transcript, the grade shows up as a A (4.0) regardless of whether I got an A- or A in the class, However, on my transcript from the college, the gpa calculation for a A- is 3.75 and an A is 4.0, so although I’ve gotten all A’s and A-'s in the 6 dual enrollment classes, on my hs transcript it averages to a 4.0 unweighted gpa, but on my college transcript it’s a 3.93 gpa. Which one will be used in college admissions. I’d like to add that I did send my college transcript for the dual enrollment classes to the colleges I’m applying to this year.
Hi! I am a dual enrollment student as well, and your situation sounds a lot like mine. My HS GPA is a 3.94 (1 B+ freshman year), but my college GPA is a 4.0. I sent my ED school both transcripts (from college and from high school). They accepted these with no problem. Good luck!
EDIT: Wanted to add that they consider both transcripts with equal weight if you’ve taken a good amount of DE classes, as you have. Both will be factored into the admissions process. Good luck!
So do you think that the admissions will take both an A and A- for my dual enrollment classes as a 4.0? Or do they calculate those as different weights?
They will use the HS GPA.
Thank you I was really worried!
