I’m from NJ and I’m applying out of state to 8 different schools on the west coast. Many of them want me to put my GPA on their application as UNWeighted. Well how do I figure that out?
The two california schools I am applying to have the most confusing GPA equation, and it asks for my 10,11,12 grade grades and I"m not even halfway done with 12th grade yet, how could they ask that?
Then the University of Washington school has a diff thing, saying you can’t give more than 4 points per grade or whatever. This is all so confusing, and everytime I call the california schools, one of them doesn’t have anyone talking its all voice automated which is frustrating and the other one they are never there and I leave messages and the deadline is approaching fast. UGHHHHHHHHHHH
<p>First of all, your guidance counselor would be able to give you te best answer to this question, because it willo be the school's profile which you will ultimately be evaluated against.</p>
<p>If you search this forum for calculating GPA, you will see how GPA is calculated on a 4 point scale</p>
<p>Yeah she did but I also asked about the whole 10,11,12th grade grades deal. How am I supposed to calculate 12th grade grades when it's not even done? Do i only just calculate the 10th & 11th grade? And what about honor classes?</p>
<p>Ok CSU Fresno and San Francisco State both ask for 10th, 11th, 12th grade. Since only the first marking period of 12th grade is done, I should ONLY calculate the grades for 10th and 11th? Won't that hurt my California GPA? UGH i hate this.</p>
<p>yes, for unweighted GPA for admission you calculate only 10th and 11th grade, which hurts almost everyone so it doesn't make a difference (i owned in 9th grade). A is 4, B is 3, C is 2, D is 1, F is 0. Add up all your grades and divide by the number of classes. That is your unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>And I know I leave out the gym classes, but what about electives? Do they go into the GPA or is it just the core cirriculum classes (language, english, social studies, math, science)?</p>
<p>Who would do the recalculating? San Francisco State and CSU Fresno? Because both ask for the GPAs on the application, they want me to do the calculations.</p>
<p>So electives such as like MS Office or Keyboarding or Photography wouldn't be calculated? </p>
<p>And what about the + and -, where did you get the points values for them? I thought they didn't look at + and -.</p>
<p>And what sucks is that my counselor didn't even know how to recalculate our GPA to an unweighted scale. It's so frustrating cuz like everyone at my school applies at Rutgers or some NJ college where the GPAs are the same, and since I'm not applying ot any NJ schools I have to deal with conversions and stuff from all the schools on the west coast. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh</p>
<p>I gave you what is pretty much the standard college grading / gpa calculation. I also looked at the profile of my daughter's H.S. when she was going through the college process, her was unweieghted.</p>
<p>Ok what if my school doesn't give out -'s, as like an A- or a B-, only As and A+s. How would I score them?</p>
<p>And some questions that need clarification..</p>
<p>For the california schools (CSUFresno and San Francisco State), do I just calculate the GPA for 10th and 11th? And there is no bonus points for honors classes right?</p>
<p>And on colleges that say only extra points for honors classes in the last 2 years, meaning only the 11th grade? (Since 12th grade grades aren't in yet)?</p>
<p>And How do I know how much extra points for the honors are?</p>
<p>And electives like Photography and MS Office don't count towards the GPA right? Or do they not count towards like California GPA but other colleges that want my GPA on a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>omg.. grade 12 grades don't count? in canada only grade 12 grades count :p
So 10 and 11? gr.. grrr...10 was not a good year due to having the flu durign exams :@</p>
<p>hmm.. looks like I won't be getting an interview afterall :(</p>
<p>Umm our letter grades are like this
A+ 90+:
A 85-89
A- 80-84: 3.7
B+ 75-79: 3.3
etc...
Would I use MY letter grades or those letter grades? Note under that system only 1 or 2 people at my school have an A average oposed to maybe 10% under our system :p</p>
<p>And do they convert or does my counsellor? My counsellor will convert based on our percentage-> letter grades conversion</p>
<p>Techically in Ontario we have a 4 Level system. with 4 being a A 1 being D and 0 just being a fail. but that's not used that much except maybe for marking rubrics and then the assignment mark is converted to %s anywyz so you like our crackhead gov.</p>
<p>I'm going to post my grades when I get home and maybe someone can calculate it for the California schools, the unweighted schools, and the 4.0 schools with the gpa and whatever else scale they got going on.</p>
