<p>I looked and looked for a thread about this so sorry if it's repetitive. Does Yale recalculate GPA?</p>
<p>Haha, yours is fine.</p>
<p>they definitely take into account AP/honors/IB classes that you’ve taken in conjunction with your unweighted GPA, if thats what it was.
our school doesnt weight, but obviously it sent the transcript with the UW GPA. i think that in and of itself is enough</p>
<p>hmm okay.
So they don’t take out the non-academic classes then? Cause some schools do that. My GPA shoots up when art and music are taken out…so I was just wondering.</p>
<p>Spiralcloud you silly goose. No highly selective institution such as Yale looks at your numeric GPA, they look at the grades you got in your most rigorous (AP/honors) classes.</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA
sorry that really made me laugh. Ah…well if that’s true okay. I really don’t want to do poorly in this whole college admissions thing because I got a few B+'s in music theory.</p>
<p>Is that a yes then, or a no? Because if they do recalculate it I’m much better off.</p>
<p>I’d best advise you to watch this as I’m sure the way Dartmouth conducts admissions is similar to the way Yale does: [Last</a> Minute Application Tips, Lots of information about how we read your applications to help you complete yours.

<p>spiralcloud - I don’t know about Yale, but if you’re applying to Stanford, they recalculate GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
