<p>Hi Guys,</p>
<p>I'm just wondering which year's gpa do they look at? jurnior year or senior year?
if i apply EA, then its solely junior year right?</p>
<p>also, do universities have their own way of calculating gpa? if so, can i find the method from their website or anywhere?</p>
<p>thanks!!</p>
<p>ps
im a student from canada so i m not really familiar with all that</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Upon reviewing your application, the college-people will focus on your junior year more. But in the case of EA, they like to keep an eye on your senior gpa throughout the school year to make sure that you don't slack off. If you do, there's a chance that they mioght take your acceptance away.</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>do you know how most colleges calculate gpa?</p>
<p>There are various systems colleges use to determine your GPA, but each equation includes:</p>
<p>-No electives. It doesn't matter if Physical Education was absolutely impossible; it will not factor into the GPA, regardless of whether or not you scored an A, B, C, and so on.
-Strength of schedule. Do you take hard courses? Each school sends a specific school profile, so admissions officers have an outstanding idea of whether or not you're challenging yourself. Forget your school's weighted grade system (at mine, AP classes and honors classes reward you with an extra point on the GPA (instead of an A earning you a 4, you get a 5)), colleges will notice if you substituted an honors course for an AP one.
-Grades. Yes, a B in an AP class is better than an A in an honors or regular one, but take the A or B in the honors or regular class if you think you will be in danger of a C or worse in an AP one.</p>
<p>Junior year is the most important year. Most colleges ask for senior midyear reports, but as long as you are not failing out, you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
