When I am applying, will they calculate my GPA for classes only taken in high school, or will they include high school classes taken in middle school like biology, algebra 1, and geometry?Will these grades affect my admission?
Without my middle school grades I have a 3.86 UW and with them I have a 3.65 UW

I’m an incoming sophomore and my class schedule for next year is
AP calculus AB
AP Environmental Science
AP Art history
AP World History
AP Physics 1
German 3
Pre ap English 2

No one in my family has completed a 4 year college and I’m a first generation american.
What would my chances be if I stayed on this academic track?

I also play golf and participate in Habitat for Humanity

Stanford recalculates GPA and does not include freshman year grades for that purpose, much less middle school grades. I’m not aware of any college that includes middle school grades for GPA purposes - that’s ancient history.

You’re on the right track. Keep doing what you’re doing. Take the SAT/ACT early to get it out of the way and look into SAT subject tests now. I took the ACT for the first time the June after my Sophomore year and was done by November Junior year.
