<p>so my college counselor just told me that my school doesnt include GPA or class rank on the transcripts they send to colleges.. nothing like weighted or unweighted GPA. only grades like As and Bs are shown on the transcripts. </p>
<p>so what are colleges gnna do when they see any transcript like this? do they spend time calculating the GPA for us or do they just count As and Bs?..
and theres no class rankin info either. on the transcript it says " Our School does not rank its students or calculate a GPA for external use." so what are they going to do with that??</p>
<p>I don’t really know, as most schools offer that information. Just ask your counselor, I mean he/she will know, unless you’re the first one from your high school to apply to college or something. </p>
<p>Don’t worry too much about it, it’s out of your control. Just figure out what others did in this situation</p>
<p>They almost always calculate their own, because colleges know that each high school has its own unique way of evaluating students. My high school didn’t have rank #'s, nor weighted GPAs, and I turned out okay. :)</p>
<p>Colleges don’t all do the same thing. In some places, they’ll use the A’s and B’s to calculate a GPA according to their own system; in others, they really will just read the transcript and take note of what classes you took and what grades you earned.</p>
<p>But, assuming that students in previous years have graduated from your high school and been admitted to a variety of colleges and universities, you should not spend a lot of time worrying about this.</p>
<p>State universities often have their own method of recalculating GPA. Presumably, you are in a state where the state universities do not consider class rank (if it were highly important, like in Texas, the high schools in the state would provide it).</p>
<p>Private schools using holistic admissions processes are more likely to just look at a transcript and see what grades you got in what courses (all or mostly A grades in the most rigorous courses available in your school looks the best, of course), rather than worry about the last 0.001 of GPA point.</p>
