<p>I'm very confused. Some say add 1.0 for AP classes and .5 for honors classes but what does that really mean?</p>
<p>So if I have a 3.8 UW GPA and got all A's in the 6 AP classes that I took, does that mean I have a 9.8 UF GPA? It can't be. Can someone clarify on how to calculate the UF GPA please?</p>
<p>Use the following scale:</p>
<p>Normal Classes
A = 4.0 points
B = 3.0 points
C= 2.0 points
D = 1.0 Points.</p>
<p>Honor Classes (add 0.5 points)
A = 4.5 points
B= 3.5 points
C= 2.5 points
D= 1.5 points
E = 0 points</p>
<p>AP/DE/IB/AICE Classes (add 1.0 points)
A = 5.0
B = 4.0
C= 3.0
D = 2.0
E = 0</p>
<p>Keep in mind that UF only looks at Academic classes (so no PE or study hall, etc). </p>
<p>As you can see, if you had all AP classes, your highest weighted GPA would be a 5.0. Since no one can take all AP classes (in 9th thru 11th grade), your weighted GPA will always be less than 5.0. </p>
<p>If you took 6 AP classes and had a 3.8 UW GPA, your UF weighted GPA would be a 4.8.</p>
<p>Make sure your school lists the classes “honors”. “We consider all our classes “honors”” as some private schools do won’t fly.</p>
So if my overall gpa is a 3.5, it will bump up to a 4.5 because of AP classes (also honors very year)?
If all of your classes where honors, then your 3.5 would be a 4.0. If all of your classes where AP (which can’t happen), then it would be a 4.5 GPA.
A majority (13/20) of my academic classes are AP or honors. I couldn’t take every honors course at my school due to a bit of a weird schedule and availability.
When you filled out your SSAR, it should say when you log in.
@dudewhat Where? I don’t see it?
I’ve been in a journalism class for 3 years and it’s weighted as a regular clas because it’s an elective. Without it, I think my GPA would be higher. Does journalism count toward UF GPA? I wouldn’t think so, but what do I know…
Also, are there any AP classes that don’t count as academic classes?
