On the high-school transcript that was sent to my schools, my freshman-junior year unweighted GPA is a 4.0 (weighted: 5.5 on a 6.0 scale). I, optimistic idiot that I am, constructed my senior-year schedule so that it looks something like this:
--AP Physics 1
--AP Statistics
--AICE Spanish (my fourth year of Spanish)
--AP Human Geography
--AP English Literature
--AP Microeconomics
First quarter, I wound up with B’s in Physics and Stats, and although my weighted GPA remained pretty much the same, my unweighted is a 3.6. I’m aware that the semester’s not over and that I have time to raise my GPA, but if I were unable to do that, how adversely would an average like this affect me?
