Uga gpa?

<p>OK I am confused with this. I understand that UGA does their GPA on a 4 scale with a .5 extra bonus per semester of an AP class, but do they calculate it the same way as hope? I just read somewhere that it is like a slightly altered hope gpa. The reason I am asking this is because I was able to recieve HS credit for two classes in 8th grade, but I made B's in them. They have definitely hurt my GPA. Would a UGA gpa count them? And if they do, would you think an admissions officer would consider the fact that I was an 8th grade student when I took them?</p>

<p>UGA will count all academic classes on your GPA. Your classes you took in 8th grade will count as they will for hope. Hope only considers your unweighted GPA; therefore, it does not matter what classes you took. It won’t matter if you took AP classes or not for hope.</p>

<p>hope does not count 8th grade high school credits. look at #6.

<p>Hope also adds .5 credit to each AP class, with a maximum of 4.0 per class - meaning if you have an A in the class, you don’t get any extra credit, but you do if you have a B or below.</p>

<p>Thank you I did not know that. I qualify for Zell miller now! Does anybody know of UGA will count the points from my 8th grade year?</p>

<p>Just in case anyone else had the same question I did, I emailed an admissions counselor and she said they only look at the classes taken from 9th-12th.</p>

<p>Did you tell her the classes were for high school credit and count towards your graduation?</p>

8

<p>yep, i did. She said that they still only look at grades earned in actual high school years.</p>

<p>As a fellow Georgian that’s good to know, thanks!</p>

<p>If the classes appear on your high school transcript - then It is my understanding they will be included in both Hope and UGA GPA.</p>

<p>For my 2012 graduate of a Georgia public high school, the high school classes taken in 8th grade appeared on the high school transcript, but only with a pass indication. No grade. Thus the student gets the credit for having passed the course, but it does not contribute to GPA.</p>

<p>Weatherga-That is exactly what the admission counselor told me. It’s good to hear proof that backs up what she said!</p>
