<p>My high school did not have honors for these classes. If I am applying to a college that already does weight honors classes, will they weight trig and pre-calc, because they are "advanced". </p>
<p>For class rank my high school weights these(if that matters)........</p>
<p>thanks

<p>Colleges don’t weight anyone’s GPA, as far as I know. They go by unweighted if anything because not all schools weight grades in the first place. You will be judged in the context of what was available to you. If there’s no honors version, colleges won’t penalize you for not taking one.</p>
<p>Oh they certainly do weight. And yes they will count it as honors, generally anything above Algebra II will be considered weighted regardless of designation.</p>
<p>^ Do you have a source for that? I haven’t seen much evidence to suggest halcyonheather’s comment is incorrect.</p>
<p>ybrown234 I tend to agree. Ive always heard otherwise.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone…
I know some colleges are’nt supposed to count honors AT ALL…but anyway I guess Trig could be considered the Honors version of Algebra III (not literally)…I had just wondered if anyone knew or could confirm what colleges thought about this…</p>
<p>thanks again…</p>
<p>They look at what advanced courses your school offers, and they see how many you took and what kind of grades you got in them. (And they just see if your GC checked the “most demanding” box.) They may recalculate an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, but they don’t calculate a one-size-fits-all weighted GPA for everyone, because not everyone had the same opportunities to take classes that would be weighted. Again, you can’t be penalized for not taking something your school didn’t offer.</p>
