GPA increase?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>To make a long story short, I dropped my English class (8th period) and instead, I'm am taking english 101 at Drexel U.</p>

<p>My english class was NOT a weighted class ( A = 5, B= 4, etc, etc). So does this mean that my gpa will be higher (assuming i get all A's, which I will)?</p>

<p>do most schools calculate gpa by the number of quality points (A=4, etc), by the number of classes? </p>

<p>right not i have 4 weighted classes and 2 unweighted (electives). Rather than 4 weighted and 3 unweighted. My basic question is this: will my gpa be higher b/c i dropped the unweighted class?</p>

<p>the reason i want to know is b/c i am tied for first with someone, but i want to know if not having that unweighted class will widen the gpa gap b/w us so that my rank can be unshared.....(yes, i know...i am very selfish)</p>

<p>thanx in advance.</p>

<p>Yes, it will be higher, but the electives might not count when colleges calculate your GPA.</p>

<p>It's all on how your school calculates gpa.</p>

<p>Most likely it will be higher. (Imagine you get all A's. (5+5+5+5+4+4)/6 = 4.67. (5+5+5+5+4+4+4)/7 = 4.57).</p>

<p>^okay, that's exactly how i calculated it......but i wanted to make sure...thanx Johnson.</p>
