<p>how does elon calculate their weighted gpa?
and is that what's reported for their averages and such on websites? or would those be referring to an unweighted gpa?</p>
<p>They do recalculate a weighted GPA - use just the 5 solids - math, science, English, social studies and foreign language. Add 1 point for any honors class and 2 points for an AP class. Do not count classes like gym, art (non-AP), music (non-AP), etc. So, an A in a regular class is worth 4 points - but is worth 5 points in an honors class and 6 points in an AP class. A B is 3 points in a regular class, 4 points in honors and 5 points in AP. Add up your points - divide by the number of classes - and voila - you have your weighted Elon gpa.</p>
