Please Help! GPA question.

So I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and my counselor just said that we are going to have an unweighted GPA. Two other people also have 4.0s but they took one more AP class then me. She said that their in weighted GPA would be higher than mine. I have tried sooo hard to get 1st and become Valedectorian. Is there anyway that I could take an AP now even though it’s been 1 week of school already? Please help I’m so sad. What should I do?

Two options:

  1. Add an AP class (you should ask your school's guidance counselor on this) and ace it.
  2. Give up on valedictorian. It's fun being able to deliver the speech and party afterwards, but 5 or 10 years down the road it might not help. While it can be a nice goal, it's not worth stressing yourself over.

If you really, really want this, then you can look into online options – I, for example, have taken AP Psych w Georgia Virtual School. The registration window is still open. Ask your counselor about your state’s program (you may have to pay, but some schools cover the cost. It’s not cheap, either – GAVS is $500 per credit hour).

Honestly, though, don’t worry! The wisest thing I’ve learned is that your mental health is more important than academic concerns. While those kids are suffering through another AP, you can kick back and marathon a TV show. :slight_smile:

Best of luck!

Thanks. It’s just been I big dream for me… Like I’ve worked really hard and suddenly It’s over :frowning: but I will ask my counselor for sure tomorrow.
