GPA question

<p>My GPA was adjusted down by admissions from a 4.45 to a 4.2. I asked my HS guidance counselor about this and she said not to worry. Has anyone else had their GPA adjusted (up or down) this much??? Does it matter?</p>

<p>No worries - they adjust GPA's per their own formula, so everyone else is competing at the same level as you are. Mine was adjusted approximately that far down.</p>

<p>My school doesn't do weighted GPAs, we have an unweighted 4.0 scale. I have a 4.0 according to my highschool, and USAFA adjusted it to 4.34 based on the difficulty of the classes I took. Whether you have either a 4.2 or 4.45 GPA, I don't think it's going to matter too much, 4.2 is plenty high</p>

<p>Like everyone else said, don't worry about it. If for some reason you don't get in, it won't be because your GPA was only 4.2. A GPA that high is more than enough in the academic department, so things look good for you as long as you've got the appropriate test scores, CFA results, etc.</p>
