<p>When you calculate your unweighted GPA you exclude non academic courses. What if you take all academic courses, because instead of taking gym or something else I took a second math. So do I calculate that with my unweighted GPA or do I exclude it?</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA has all of your classes in it despite what they are. Unweighted just means you don't add points for honors/AP.</p>
<p>Yea, but when a lot of colleges are recalculating your gpa many will take out your non-academic classes. At least most of the colleges I know of.</p>
<p>What are you doing it for? If you are filling out an application for college and they ask for your GPA, you put whatever your high school provides. If you are just trying to figure out what your unweighted GPA may be as considered by colleges then be aware it differs from college to college: (a) many do not even redo your GPA and use whatever is provided, weighted or unweighted, and then evaluate based on what is provided, e.g., they do not consider those with unweighted GPA as having to be on the same level as weighted, (b) many that do recalculate may be doing a new weighted GPA under their own system and thus not be basing the decision on unweighted, (c) some may ignore your freshman year, (d) many will consider only your grades in core college prep courses -- math, English, social studies, language, and lab science -- and ignore everything else such as PE, basic science courses that are not lab courses, vocational courses, art, health, although some may even consider one or more of those and (e) some may ignore your GPA entirely and rely on class rank. So when you ask how do you calculate your unweighted GPA, you have a variety of choices depending on the purpose.</p>
