<p>How much do honors and AP classes regularly bump your GPA by?</p>
<p>My school has NO bump for honors, 0.5 bump for AP..</p>
<p>my school:</p>
<p>no bump for honors ( except honors physics)
1.0 quality point (bump) for AP</p>
<p>it also gives an extra quality point to other non AP classes:
Accounting II
all 4 year or adv. language courses</p>
<p>My school (college prep school) does .5 for honors and 1 for AP, but the .5 for honors only applies if there is a non-honours course available. For example, Honors Algebra I weights because there is a regular Alg 1, but Honors Pre-Calc doesn't weight because our school only offers Pre-Calc at honors. </p>
<p>The important thing, though, is how much each college one applies to weights.</p>
<p>Most colleges will remove the weights. At least top colleges, as all applicants will have taken the most challenging course load and ideally they would've gotten straight As BEFORE the weight was added.</p>
<p>I agree with ses in concept, but don't believe that the volume of applications actually enables an actual recalculation of gpa (run the math with applications to Harvard, for example, and guess how many hours it will take to recalc scores of every transcript starting, January 2). Since holistic review means that an app is reviewed "in context," the reader can look at the app and HS and know that a 3.xx or 4.yy at THAT high school is a great transcript (or not). They would also know that a 3.80 from Podunk High is just ok.</p>
<p>At my high school, there was no bump for honors classes but AP was worth 1 point.</p>
<p>My school's weighting is crappy compared to almost all the ones I've seen. All we get is .3 weighting for AP classes (of which there are only 7) and nothing for honors.</p>
<p>At my school, 1 point for AP, none for honors except Honors English 11 (since they don't offer AP English language, I suppose).</p>
<p>My school doesn't bump APs or honors. We only have an unweighted GPA. Though our counselors do have our weighted GPAs where APs and Honors are both bumped by 1 point. We don't get to know this unless we ask and it doesn't appear on our transcipts. (I believe this is for the convenience of UC applications, we send like a fourth of each class to the UCs)</p>
<p>No weighting here.</p>
<p>The bumps get recalibrated depending on the school you send it to. Honor classes pretty much don't do anything unless they're approved (like for UC approved honors classes).</p>
<p>Yeah, and the Ivys strip all of the weighting out, right?</p>
<p>Yup, they get your transcript with the UW already calculated (or at least they should).</p>
<p>My school is odd. It weights our numerical grade, so we cannot get over a 4.0. For honors classes, we get 3 points added to our grade (a 97 would be a 100), and for AP classes, we get 5 points added to our grade (a 100 would be a 105). I think it is so stupid, but whatever.</p>
<p>My school doesnt have the word "weight" in its vocabulary. It doesnt even do the GPA out of 4.0 because the ppl would just be like "HUH????", instead its just done by your simple average out of a 100, which I peronally believe is a lot more accurate and meaningful tha the GPA system.</p>
<p>btw, which schools rank?</p>
<p>no weighting at my school :-(</p>
<p>No bumps at all</p>
