<p>I have a 3.77 UW gpa.
(4.3 WEighted)
I have 6 Bs and 1 C
and take a lot of unweightd grade classes in school (which lowers my class rank)</p>
<p>freshman
no Bs
RANK: 5/350</p>
<p>Sophomore
3 Bs, 1 C
RANK: 4/350</p>
<p>jUnior, so far
3 Bs
RANK: 6/350</p>
<p>what is grade deflation? someone told me that I had it at my school.
is this good or bad? Does my class rank match with my GPA?</p>
<p>grade deflation is bad, and it seems as if your school definately has it. a school with 350 ppl, and the 5th rank has 6 b's means that if you went to any other high school your grades would be MUCH higher.</p>
<p>how is that bad??
won't colleges see that is it "grade deflation?"</p>
<p>it's bad, i got 84% avg and i rank the same as you. i got rejected by all schools this year! all!!!! be aware!! i suggest transfer to a grade inflated school ( i should've done that, even after adcom's told me, i still stayed. i seriously don't deserve those schools :( after not taking their advice! )</p>
<p>y is it bad!!!???
OH NOOOOOOOOO</p>
<p>WHY???</p>
<p>The colleges will KNOW that my school is deflation school, righT??
will they take it into consideration?</p>
<p>bump, please!!! Thanks!!</p>
<p>Well, it depends how your counselor writes about it..</p>
<p>wait didn't you take a lot of weighted classes ? cuz how can your weighted gpa be 4.3 and unweighted 4.77 and you say you didn't take a lot of weighted classes ?</p>
<p>my unweighted is 3.77
Weighted is 4.3</p>
<p>i know... i'm asking how is that possible</p>
<p>becuase 6/7 of my classes are WEighted.
5.0
instead of a regular 4.0 for each class.
but I get Bs in some of them
and then i take sumemr school...and orchestra...
lowers my GPA down to 4.3
otherwise, without orchestra/summer school, i'd have a 4.5 or so</p>
