<p>I’m sure this question has been asked many times, but i dont feel like going and looking for the threads- Does the Academy take into consideration difficulty of classes and if the school weights or not? Because I took a pretty rough schedule in HS and my grades were slightly lower than they wouldve been if I had taken easier classes. Also, my HS doesnt weight GPA’s.</p>
<p>Yes, they do look at the caliber of classes you were taking, not just the grades you got.</p>
<p>It's crazy, my ALO explained this </p>
<p>they have a program at the academy where, when you punch in the school code, it has the highschool's difficulty (i guess by % going to college? not sure), grading system etc already programmed into it. </p>
<p>then you punch in your GPA as the school give it to you, and the program gives the admissions people a new GPA</p>
<p>Yeah thats good. My high school is very competative, I think someting like 95% go to a 4 year college so hopefully they do have some sort of program thing.</p>
<p>does this only apply to the air force, or do the other service acadeimes do the same?</p>
<p>If air force does it, I would tend to assume that they all do it.</p>
<p>Many (most?) civilian colleges do the same thing. They pretty much know the rigor of the school and "adjust" the GPA accordingly. I know this b/c a family friend worked in the admission office of a small, highly regarded, private college.
