<p>How do they re-calculate your highschool GPAs? Like for example U Mich takes the +,- off your grade so .... like B- would be a B and B+ would be B as well..... How does Chicago do it?</p>
<p>I don't know how the calculate GPA from HS transcripts, but for their undergraduate courses, from the UChicago website: The following marks are used for undergraduate courses (the number weight assigned to each grade for computation of grade point averages (GPA) is listed in parentheses when applicable): A (4.0), A- (3.7), B+ (3.3), B (3.0), B- (2.7), C+ (2.3), C (2.0), C- (1.7), D+ (1.3), D (1.0), F (0.0), I, N, P, Q, and W. The marks A, B, C, D, and P are passing marks and confer course credit. The mark F indicates unsatisfactory work and does not confer credit.</p>
<p>i asked while i was visiting:</p>
<p>they simply view your given GPA in the context of your school's profile (ie. difficulty level, no. of aps, scales, etc.)</p>
