<p>How are Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Year GPAs Weighted When Combined?</p>
<p>For example, is:</p>
<p>Junior Year- 50%
Sophomore Year- 35%
Freshman Year- 15%</p>
<p>I am curious so that I can be able to calculate the GPA myself when the time comes.</p>
<p>Weighted equally.</p>
<p>Depends on the school. Some schools don’t even use freshman grades. As a general rule, the closer to admissions the semester was, the more important.</p>
<p>^^Not true; Princeton, for instance, doesn’t even consider sophomore year grades.</p>
<p>Our school just weights them equally and calculates cumulative GPA as if you took all the classes in one year (so it’s just total grade points/total # of semesters).</p>
