<p>I go to a pretty good public school that offers the typical APs such as Calc, Physics, US History, etc; however, my schools also offers "elective" AP classes such as AP Macro Economics, AP Micro Economics, AP Psychology, and some others. My question to all of you is, do these kinds of AP classes count towards my GPA and as "Core" classes??
Thanks</p>
<p>I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking do you get college credit for them? If so on the website it will tell you what score and which classes you would get credit for. If you are asking does say AP macro count as a social studies class in high school and do they look at that grade I would say yes.</p>
<p>Notice they capitalize ALL…</p>
<p>Calculating Your GPA
While students are asked to self-report their high school GPA directly from their transcript, we will recalculate a GPA for all applicants to use in our review process. We use a weighted 4.0 grading scale, factoring classes in the core areas of English, math, science, foreign language, and social science, and ALL AP, IB, or college-level classes. For students taking AP, IB, or college-level classes, we award an additional one-half point (0.5) for each course. Weight is not added for courses labeled Honors, Gifted, Magnet, etc., though please be assured that these will be considered during the curriculum evaluation. The holistic nature of our evaluation process ensures that students who attend a high school that does not offer weighted courses will not be penalized in our evaluation process.</p>
<p>@MichiganGeorgia Sorry for the confusion, I meant do they count as a regular social studies class.</p>
