<p>I haven’t read through this entire thread. But I know from a lot of college visits that a lot of schools calculate their own internal gpa. I believe S1’s school threw out all weighting and nonacademic classes and calculated an applicant’s gpa on a 4 point scale (with pluses and minuses) for core classes only, and then calculated a separate score for the rigor of the curriculum a student had chosen.</p>
<p>So stacking a schedule with BS courses wouldn’t fly real well.</p>
