GPA Question

[zenythz]

<p>I understand that Hopkins recalculates your Soph./Jr. year GPA and that they take into consideration +/-.</p>

<p>Sophomore and Junior years combined, I've gotten 5 B's out of 30 grades (so 25 A's). However, nearly all my A's are A-...I rarely get solid A's. Will this pull me down too much in regards to the recalculated GPA?</p>

<p>Also to ask, do they consider solely your academic core classes (Foreign Language, Science, Math, English, Social Studies)? And they do unweight it right? and how much consideration do they give to your rigor?</p>

<p>This discussion thread on the Hopkins Forums should provide you with ample information about how GPA is evaluated by the Johns Hopkins Admissions committee:</p>

<p>just another question related to GPA:</p>

<p>say someone switches schools after freshman or soph. year…and the new school is (much) harder in terms of rigor, and the grades/GPA go down. Will this be taken into account?</p>

<p>If you had read through the Hopkins Forums link I posted above ([Hopkins</a> Forums -> Questions about GPA / Class rank](<a href=“Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!”>Leak nudes - The Home Of The Sexiest Thots, Nipple Slips, Bikini Pictures, Nude Streamers From Patreon, Onlyfans And Much More!)), you would have read the following:</p>

The simple to answer your question is that a school’s specific grading scale is one of the many factors that is considered when an admissions counselor reviews a student’s transcript. Grading scales are one of the many items that we will consider from high school profiles, to allow us to better evaluate the specifics of a transcript in relation to the school.</p>

<p>This is not something you need to be concerned with … every school grades differently, every school offers different levels of courses, every school as some form of grade inflation or deflation, every school … and so on and so on. A student’s transcript is reviewed in the context of their specific school, not held to some arbitrary national scale.

<p>This holds true for students who switch high schools … your grades are always reviewed in the context of the school you obtained those grades.</p>
