<p>Ok... here's the deal:</p>
<p>My counselor told me that my unweighted GPA is 3.61</p>
<p>HOWEVER</p>
<p>when I calculated it using only core subjects (math, history, English), it came out to around a 3.4</p>
<p>I'm freaking out right now because that is a HUGE difference and could mean so much in college admissions...</p>
<p>Should I trust the GPA my counselor gave me? (I'm not sure how she calculated it) or use the GPA I arrived at? (All I did was average out my foreign language, science, math, history, and English grades from freshmen to junior year)</p>
