Does Rice recalculate high school GPA?

<p>In ninth grade, the grading scale was different than it was the other three years. An A was 90-100.</p>

<p>Now, the scale is 93-100 for an A and 85-92 for a B. Teachers teaching honors classes now add three points to our averages (100 becomes a 103) and AP classes get five points added (95 becomes 100). </p>

<p>Do you think Rice will take these points away? My GPA will stay the same, but it obviously looks more impressive when I have a 101 in Honors English than a 98. </p>

<p>Oh yeah. I got a 92 in Spanish I in ninth grade, so it was an A under the old system. Will that change my GPA?</p>

<p>I don't know. I think that Rice is more wholistic than that when evaluating transcripts. But on your application, I think you should use whatever cummulative gpa is figured by your school.</p>
