<p>on college board it says that the average GPA is 3.9 is this average weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>does anyone know</p>
<p>I think they recalculate it. You can check on the website for the details (or it may be on an earlier thread). I think they count core subject areas and then give weight to honors, ap/ib, etc.</p>
<p>oh alright, that makes sense, i was really surprised when i saw it...i thought i had no chance but if they re-calculate for AP's then thats not too bad</p>
<p>Elon will recalculate your gpa to a 4.0 scale. They take into consideration you course level of difficulty and strength of schedule. They will weight AP and honors courses.</p>
<p>I think South Carolina's GPA is out of 5.0</p>
<p>I am not sure what that comment meant but ---</p>

First, we convert all grading scales to a 4.0 scale. Second, Elon takes academic core courses into consideration when evaluating your file. From those courses we recompute an Elon GPA giving weight to honors, AP and IB courses. </p>
