<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I'm considering applying to Duke this coming fall but am not sure how to calculate it's GPA. If someone could help me out, that'd be fantastic! Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Does Duke consider UW or W or both? </p>

<p>Some schools don't consider non-academic courses such as PE and Health when calculating their GPA; do Marching Band and Symphonic Band fall into this category of non-academic courses for Duke? </p>

<p>What years of high-school do Duke consider (ie. 9th-11th, 10th-11th, 10th-12th_firstsemester, etc.)? </p>

<p>Do classes taken at a local community college count towards the GPA? If I took a course the summer between 9th and 10th grade, would this course be considered part of 9th or 10th? </p>

<p>Does Duke superscore the SAT?</p>

<p>Thank you very much and have a wonderful summer!</p>

<p>I don't think they recalculate GPA. Rather, they will assess your GPA in the context of the system your school/district uses which is usually included as an "endnote" on your transcript. More important I think would be your rank in the class since they report this statistic rather than GPA per se. I believe they look at both W and UW GPA and your grades from all classes taken including those in 9th grade and from dual enrollment work but, again, don't exactly recalculate.</p>
