<p>ktwofish has the correct GPA conversion.
A in honors is 4.5, A in regular is 4.0, A in AP/IB is 5.0
B in honors is 3.5, B is reg is 3.0, B in AP/IB is 4.0 etc...</p>
<p>As for when the GPA is calculated...it depends when you apply but for ED and For RD 1, they only use your GPA from the end of your Junior year. They do not ask for nor look at midyear reports unless you are deferred.
Your SAT of 1290 is very acceptable for UF...they are more concerned with your GPA (which looks excellent) and your EC's. Not sure what the bright futures GPA is but it its probably very close to the state U. GPA calculation that we have told you.</p>
