<p>I completed my OU scholarship applications on time, and believe I am eligible for the "NONRESIDENT DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR" scholarship (28,000 over 4 years). You are eligible if you have a 1290-1350 SAT AND a GPA of 3.75. It says it is based on 4.0 non-weighted scale. I will graduate with a 3.4-3.5 at a public High School in Texas. I'm not sure what our GPA scale is, but I know that we have students with GPAs above 4.0. Can anyone tell if I'm eligible for this?</p>
<p>Almost certainly your 3.4-3.5 weighted or unweighted is not going to match OU’s GPA of 3.75 unweighted. </p>
<p>Think of it this way. 3.75 means that for all of your graded classes, regardless of Honors, AP, etc. difficulty, you must get 3 A’s for every B. Or 7 A’s for every C. </p>
<p>Your 3.45 is either unweighted, making it lower than 3.75 or if it is already weighted, your unweighted score is even lower than 3.45.</p>
<p>The GPAs above 4.0 in my kids Texas HS are for extra points they get taking AP classes. Our scoring is very strange, but I hope that clears it up for you. You may want to look at New Mexico/NM State. I cannot remember, but one of them may give you a good package.</p>
<p>Okay. Looking back it makes sense that my GPA wouldn’t qualify wither way lol. Thanks for the replies!</p>
