<p>I am confused as to how my GPA will be calculated by admissions. Does each school have a different manner of doing this? Are there common methods used by most schools? Here is my concern. I have a 3.4 unweighted and a 3.5-3.6 if you include my AP classses. But my school is really HARD. It's a small school and my class size is 38 students. I'm not even in the upper 50% because very few us of us do better than 3.8. How will this impact my college applications? P.S. The average SAT score at my school is 2100.</p>
<p>Usually high schools submit a school profile to the colleges so that they know that the school is hard. I think most schools look at unweighted scores but they also look at what your classes are, so don't worry.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that each school can recalculate your GPA according to their own formula.</p>
