<p>I am trying to calculate my USC GPA. How do I do this??</p>
<p>Does USC look at both the unweighted and weighted GPA?
Do they look at all 9th grade or just 10th and 11th grades?</p>
<p>Do I need to include PE?</p>
<p>Do they have list how to calculate this anywhere on their website?
Want to make sure I do it right as it differs from the UC calculations.</p>
<p>What does your high school say your GPA is? That’s your USC GPA. Ta-da.</p>
<p>They look at weighted and unweighted but class rank is probably more important than either.</p>
<p>This is my GPA (unweighted) for Terms 1 and 2:
Freshman Year: 3.167/3.00
Sophomore: 3.83/4.0
Junior: 4.0/4.0</p>
<p>My school does not do class rank.
So my cumulative GPA from 9-11 is 3.66 unweighted. </p>
<p>SAT-2300
PSAT-235</p>
<p>Would this get me in?</p>
<p>At Explore 2 different admissions officers told us that they look at the overall stats but what is more important is your “why USC” essay and your other essays. They want students that can not only do the work but that are enthusiastic about attending and are a good fit for the school. They really have a holistic approach in who they admit. Your stats seem fine especially if you are attending a private hs. If not, an explanation about freshman year will help. Upward trend is excellent. Be sure to tell them who you are in your essays and you have a great chance. (I think I saw that rank is not considered somewhere! -princeton review/college board? but don’t quote me on it)</p>
