GPA Question?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Should I mention on my college apps that my high school changed its grading scale midway through my high school career? It use to be 93-100 is an A, 86-92 a B and so on. Now it's 90-100 is an A, 80-89 B and so forth. My GPA is solid but there are two or three B's sophomore year that should have been A's in the new grading scale, thus boosting my GPA.</p>

<p>Is it worth mentioning on my college app that the grading scale changed after my sophomore year? My high school wont recalculate the grades before the change.</p>

<p>I’d mention it…</p>

<p>It should say that on the school profile anyway but I would mention it just in case…</p>

<p>Would it be a big factor in admissions?</p>

<p>Well you do want to be as competitive as possible…</p>
