<p>did everyone see on the website that u of m is not recalculating gpa anymore for applicants. They are only using your cummulative--is this old news to everyone?</p>
<p>May I have a link please?</p>
<p>As my location states, I live in Ann Arbor, and many of my friends and family have close ties to the University, yet I have not heard of this new policy.</p>
<p>Yeah there have been a couple of threads on this a about a week or two ago.</p>
<p>[Office</a> of Undergraduate Admissions: GPA Recalculation FAQs](<a href=“http://www.admissions.umich.edu/gpa/]Office”>http://www.admissions.umich.edu/gpa/)</p>
<p>Lol I made a nice thread about this like 3 weeks ago…it shoulda been stickied :(</p>
<p>while we are discussing old news, may we bring this up too?</p>

<p>lol, nice bearcat</p>
<p>^ I like how the paper pronounces him dead by giving the years, but he is not dead yet because it says “Will not make it through the night, doctors declare.”</p>
<p>Imagine if they were just waiting for him to bleed out rather than slip out of his coma. Could you imagine reading your own obituary? <em>Shivers</em></p>
<p>The Daily had an article about it today: ['U'</a>; to no longer recalculate GPA in admissions process | The Michigan Daily](<a href=“http://www.michigandaily.com/content/u-no-longer-recalculate-gpa-admissions-process]‘U’”>'U' to no longer recalculate GPA in admissions process)</p>
<p>don’t even get me started: she didn’t know why they recalculated in the first place and laughed?</p>
<p>and the difference between their recalculation and reality was .o8? give me a break…when a B+ became the same as a B- with the old system and with AP’s not really counting??? how can they say it makes no difference?</p>
<p>I personally know at least 10 OOS kids where UMich was their first choice; with tons of AP’s and honors who were not admitted over the last 5 years because they had B+, A- GPA’s that Mich recalculated…they were all way over 4.0 weighted…and in the top 10% of their classes…and extremely high SAT/ACT (one last year had a 2300 in one sitting and was not accepted)…</p>
<p>done with my rant of the day…carryon</p>
<p>^ You’re judged within the context of your school anyways, so having a 4.4 weighted GPA won’t help you if your school is really easy and lot’s of people have high GPA’s. Someone who goes to a much more difficult school that doesn’t weight GPA’s and has a 3.9 could very possibly have a better chance of admission than the 4.4.</p>
