<p>S’s public school had only honors, AP, and IB classes for academic subjects such as math, english, the sciences, etc. P.E., music, and art classes were not typically included in GPA. The school did not weight classes or rank. The AVERAGE SAT for the school hovered around a 1400 for CR and Math. To the best of my knowledge, no one had a 4.0 at graduation. When applying to PSU, the unweighted GPA was used to determine admission and scholarships. The students from the school had some difficulty competing against the 4.5+ weighted GPAs from other schools, particularly for scholarships.</p>
<p>Things change from year to year. Admission may also be influenced by the major in which you are interested. I would suggest you turn in your application early and see what happens.</p>
