<p>Since I took ten classes(including two math classes and three science classes)every year, I'm worried that my grade of some math and science classes might not be included in calculation of my GPA. As you know, each school has its own way to calculate GPA in admission. UCs are the typical case. How about top schools like MIT? Do they count every grades of math and science classes which I took? Do they not count any of my religion, P.E., and elective classes?</p>
<p>UC’s are not the typical case at all. Not all colleges show the calculation on the website clearly as UC does. Not all colleges recalculate gpa. Not all colleges drop freshman year from gpa. If they recalculate they won’t include PE, but they are likely to include your religion and electives, and all your math and science as long as they are not repeats. I don’t know about MIT. You might ask in the MIT forum, and use search to see past discussions of MIT recalculation.</p>
<p>Thanks. I hope the schools of my choice would include my grade of elective and religion.</p>
<p>How can you even put, “Each school has its own way,” and, “UCs are the typical case” in consecutive sentences?</p>
<p>I agree: there is no “typical.”</p>
<p>And even if there were, what difference would it really make? What could you do about it? You couldn’t change your transcript.</p>
<p>I wanted to emphasize the uniqueness of UCs’ grading system. Since they don’t count everything if you take two or three math classes, I thought that was quite strange and different from the grading system of other schools.</p>
