<p>How is it calculated? Is it taken from each quarter of all 4 years of your high school career and done that way. I know it's the unweighted one but how is it calculated. I would like to see mine. Or is your senior GPA transcript just there?</p>
<p>Please and Thank you!</p>
<p>Good question, but no idea.</p>
<p>Ask your counselor!</p>
<p>hopkins counts it on a 4 point scale, that’s what the admissions officer said.
4 is an A, 3 is a B, and so on for UW.
weighted is one extra point for an AP class and a .5 extra for honors.</p>
<p>different colleges may do it differently. i was informed that most competitive colleges calculate GPA as mentioned above. :]</p>
<p>I know that phuloridian. But I was asking like how is the one on your transcript in which colleges see determined/calculated.</p>
<p>it gets recalculated by them?</p>
<p>maybe i’m not understanding your question.</p>
<p>But which is on the transcript? Is it your senior GPA or your high school career gpa? And if it’s your HS career gpa, how is that calculated?</p>
<p>That’s what I want to know.</p>
<p>I think the point is that it doesn’t matter. Colleges recalculate your GPA, each according its own method, in order to normalize them since each HS may do it differently.</p>
<p>Yeah high schools do tend to grade differently. For my school you get a extra point in Ap class (0=1=2=3=4=5), though your letter grade stays the same ( unless it looks different on transcripts). For honors, there is no extra points given.</p>
<p>your cumulative GPA is on the transcript (career GPA).
it’s calculated by your actual grades. </p>
<p>this because i still might not be understanding, sorry if i’m insulting your intelligence.
say you had all A’s and 6 classes during your freshman year: 4+4+4+4+4+4 = 24/6 = 4.0
and then say you calculated the GPA likewise for every grade and you had a 4.0 freshman year, a 3.79, a 4.5 and a 4.92
you add all of those together and you get your entire weighted GPA. UW would be like a 4.0+3.39+4.0+4.0 = ???/4 = UW</p>
<p>they look at your grades and recalculate it all.</p>
<p>It depends on whether or not your quarter grades actually count. At my school, quarter grades don’t go on your transcript. Ask your counselor to see you transcript, then calculate your GPA from the grades on there.</p>
<p>From my understanding your cumulative GPA is factored by all of your semester grades from freshmen year, which will be a total of 8 semesters determing your high school cumulative GPA.</p>
<p>uw + weighted semester classes/7 classes*semesters</p>
<p>My school does not use the semester system.</p>
<p>Your transcript only includes final grades.</p>
<p>So at my school, GPA is calculated by adding all of your uw GPAs for classes and then dividing by 4*# of classes.</p>
<p>Yeah you answered it phuloridian and coolbreeze. That’s what I was looking for and talking about. That’s perfect! I was just wondering how they calculated and yeah, you guys answered it.</p>
<p>I think my school does semester meaning 8 total throughout my HS career.</p>
<p>Alright thanks!!!</p>
<p>weighted (+.5 honrs, +1 AP)…but its a little weird we started weighted hafway in high school so its partially weighted partially not</p>
