<p>My school is a Bit** and they do not incorporate classes taken at community colleges and online classes into the GPA. They also make it so an A- is a 3.7, which hurts alot because my school is tough so you will get alot of A-'s. </p>
<p>Anyways, when i apply to Stanford, will they calculate my GPA using their standards with the college courses and online courses added?</p>
<p>I have a similar issue with college courses. I took two community college courses that have weighted my gpa down at 4.2. Otherwise it would be higher. The admissions office will take this into account, right?</p>
<p>They recalculate your GPA using unweighted 1-4 scale, accademic subjects only in grades 10-12, disregarding all pluses and minuses (A- = A = A+ =4)</p>
<p>Then, why do they ask (even prefer) the high school to give the weighted GPA?</p>
<p>Perhaps they want a weighted GPA because they wanted your rank to be based on your weighted GPA? </p>
<p>The actual GPA number in itself doesn't matter. What matters is the grades you received in individual classes. They won't accept/reject you based on different ways of calculating the GPA so it really doesn't matter how they calculate it. (It does matter that they only look at grades 10-12)</p>
<p>do they actually only look at your academics over 3 years?</p>
<p>hopefully they won't look at other classes...</p>
<p>I really question how extensively they recalculate all this stuff considering they have something like ~ 22,000 applications</p>
<p>so if I have like 2 Bs (1 in soph. yr, and 1 in jr. year) does that mean my GPA is 3.9 or do they take the average of all your grades, in which case I think mine will still be a 4?</p>
