<p>How is a high school GPA converted into a UMICH GPA for admissions purposes?</p>

<p>For example...
Are non-essential electives considered such as Art and PE?
What years are factored in?</p>

<p>They don’t convert GPA’s into Michigan GPA’s anymore.</p>

<p>They used to take 10th and 11th grade classes, eliminate non-core classes such as art and PE, give a 4 for an A (or A+ or A-), a 3 for a B (or B+ or B-) and a 2 for a C (or C+ or C-) and divide by the number of classes. No added weight for AP or honors.</p>

<p>Now they look at your transcript and the high school that it comes from and make a subjective determination.</p>

<p>I’ll confirm what res ipsa said. They just use the GPA on your transcript now.</p>
