<p>One more question:</p>
<p>You keep mentioning your michGPAs. Do you now how they are calculated? D's school uses % grades.</p>
<p>Once you submit your transcript U mich recalculate your GPA</p>
<p>They only consider English, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Foreign Language grades for GPA calculation.</p>
<p>So this could be advantage for some ppl or disadvantage for others.</p>
<p>They will still see your extra classes and grades though.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot! Not a big change in D's case.</p>
<p>also about the UM GPA- they don't use + or -
90-100 = 4
80-89 = 3
70-79 = 2
i'm assuming if your D is applying to UMich she doesnt have anything lower than that haha
and it only includes your grades from your sophomore and junior year
it usually doesn't make much a difference from your normal GPA except if your D has a lot of B+ it may hurt a little</p>
<p>Actually this is even better! She had several 90s and 91s and was not sure if she could count them as 4. Although her freshan year was a good one, better than one of the junior semesters when shefirt tried 4 APs simultaneously. Will recalculate.</p>
<p>hate to say it but they dont calculate freshman year...only sophmore and junior (and i made all As freshman year! how lame). they take the core classes from those 2 years (english, math, science, social studies, foreign language) and unweight them. then they look at what youre taking your senior year to see how hard the classes are</p>
