Princeton recalculates GPA???? WHAT????

<p>lol, maddy is EXACTLY the type of applicant this policy should NOT be helping.</p>

<p>lol....HA HA! why do you say so? Omg, if you know the wierd courses we take in nigeria that absolutely does not count to required subjects. Example - a nigerian language) how is that going to help the princeton admissions officer?. Its best they cut it off! hahahahaha! (sinister laugh). I did not do too well on that subject.</p>

<p>i am assuming it is to simply get rid of the whole A- A+ ambiguity.
I was told though that where the A is coming from will also be considered.</p>

<p>An A in Thomas Jefferson High would
probably hold more merit then an A from a unknown suburban school
in the middle of nowhere...</p>

<p>When they get your transcript, do they get all grading periods, or do they get semesters?</p>

<p>my school only sends in year grades</p>
