<p>"I have read that colleges "recalculate" GPA's - is there any standard whatsoever?"</p>
<p>I asked that question on the board here a few weeks back and one of the CC people suggest I write the school I was interested in and ask what they do. Got a nice, quick reply saying they don't recalculate. </p>
<p>Asking makes perfect sense, though I suspect it could take longer to get a reply now that many schools are in the tight part of their ED cycle.</p>
