Can anyone help??? I am going to be a senior this fall, and I currently have a GPA of 3.3 on a 5.0, and 3.6 on a 4.0. Out of 8 periods next year, 6 classes will be PRE AP and AP CLASSES. Can my GPA increase to 3.5 at the end of first semester of my senior year , if I do well in all classes?
Try talking to your GC about this.
We have no way of knowing how your school weights grades. Try finding out how they do it and then putting in a year of all A’s and see what happens. I personally have never heard of a weighted GPA being lower than an unweighted one.
You know how to calculate weighted averages, don’t you?
We can’t do it for you without more information.
Does “8 periods next year” means 4 courses in each semester? If so, will you take 3 APs and 1 non-AP course in both semesters? Does each AP count as 5 pts and each non-AP count as 4 pts, with no honors classes that get 4.5 pts? Will you have taken the same number of courses ,“8 periods”, in each of your 4 years of high school? Once all this information is known, it should be a simple arithmetic problem to calculate your maximum possible GPA.
