What GPA do colleges look at?

<p>Most schools will recalculate it. </p>

<p>Something you can do is take difficult classes, and your school (and if not the schools you apply to) will give weight to those Honors, AP, and IB courses in most cases.</p>

<p>However, don’t be discouraged. Just keep above a 3.0 and there will be good colleges- maybe not the top colleges- that will accept you. If you can’t get those grades up, focus on ECs and volunteer work as well as building good student-teacher relationships so you can get great recs.</p>
