<p>sorry, this is my last thread for a while, ive been posting way too many haha</p>
<p>when USC calculates the weighted GPA, what is their formula?</p>
<p>AP Courses are weighted as out of 5 points. Honors/Pre-AP classes are not.</p>
<p>Non-academic subjects (Health, Drivers Ed) are not used in their calculation.</p>
<p>At least that's how I think it goes.</p>
<p>wow....my weighted GPA just went down, most of my extra points were honors classes...this sucks</p>
<p>ummm, yeah...crap...<em>sigh</em></p>
<p>They still take into account the difficulty of your classes as part of the holistic admissions process though. So while the honors classes may not directly impact your GPA weighing, they still help you...</p>
<p>my school's honors classes aren't weighted in our gpa. do you know if they count fine arts classes? i have alot of theater credit and it raised my unweighted but really hurts my weighted gpa.</p>
<p>sfgiants, what you just described to pmcharkins, is that weighing unweighted or weighted?</p>
<p>the classes that USC doesn't count are listed in their written application booklet, they are: "classes in drama production, band or music, leadership, PE, computer applications, keyboarding, consumer math, bussiness and accounting, yearbook, newspaper, debate team, teacher assistantships" they also said when I called that they accept religion classes that are based on learning about the religion as opposed to a personal growth class.</p>

<p>I'm not exactly sure what you are asking? :confused:</p>
<p>I think that he's asking if USC counts AP points in the unweighted GPA, so that as a result they would count honors and AP's in the weighted</p>
