<p>I'm a little confused about how Michigan recalculates GPA. I know they only use "core classes," but is that just language, math, english, and science, or would it include a class like AP Gov and Politics if im also taking AP US history that same year?</p>
<p>From their website:</p>
<p>The Office of Undergraduate Admissions for U-M recalculates the grade point averages (GPA) for all applicants. Grades are determined using an unweighted 4.0 scale: A (including plus or minus ) = 4.0, B (including plus or minus) = 3.0, C (including plus or minus) = 2.0, D (including plus or minus) = 1.0, and E or F = 0.0. </p>
<p>Freshmen: No extra (GPA) weight is given to Honors, Accelerated, or Advanced Placement courses; however, the difficulty of a student's curriculum is taken into consideration within the admission's process. Additionally, only academic courses from 10th and 11th grade (Foreign Language, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, and English) are used to calculate the GPA.</p>
<p>Wow,
This is really bad for me because I pulled off so many 89.6s an 88.9s.. all B+s, which will be made into Bs. If I got that extra point then it would be an A.</p>
<p>what kind of neo-nazi teacher doesn't round up an 89.6?</p>
<p>A buddy of mine had a math class last semester and got an 89.79 and the prof refused to round it up because he claimed that would be "grade inflation".... such a joke</p>
