<p>does Harvard have their own way of calculating high school GPA?
Or do they just accept what's on the transcript?</p>
<p>I dont know specifically how harvard looks at GPA. </p>
<p>All schools slice and dice your transcript into various tidbits. They are most interested in your rigorous classes (AP, college, honors, etc) and especially in core subjects. They also look for trends (upward or steady is best). Any fiddling they do will be to the advantage of students who take rigorous classes and do well. </p>
<p>Tech schools may also look more closely at math and science.</p>
