<p>Does USC have a special way of calculating GPA? cuz i saw on the accepted board someone say that they had a 3.97 USC Gpa... so just wondering</p>
<p>thnx</p>
<p>usc gpa = everything unweighted</p>
<p>really? cause i heard USC takes into account pluses and minuses.</p>
<p>well...i'm pretty sure your high school GPA and your USC undergrad GPA are calculated two different ways. once you're at USC, your GPA does take pluses and minuses into account. </p>
<p>otherwise, you're unweighted high school GPA is your "GPA" for admission. and even then, i'm sure your weighted GPA factors somewhat into admission.</p>
<p>The weighted GPA does factor in. They recalculate based on your transcripts, but I am not exactly sure which formula they use. (Most schools recalculate using their criteria so they can better compare candidates.)</p>
