<p>I looked online and can't find a link for how FSU calculates GPA. How do they determine what's an elective? For instance, I assume that Drama would be an elective, but how about Speech?</p>
<p>I am not sure if speech is considered an academic elective or not. My guess would be that they would count it as a language arts elective. You should contact the admissions office and they should be able to answer.</p>
<p>One really good thing about taking high school SPEECH CLASS is FSU lets you satisfy the Oral Competency General Education Requirement if you have a grade of "B" or above in a high school oral communication or speech class.</p>
<p>i think this is what you are looking for</p>
<p>That link looks to me like it is for calculating college GPA, not high school GPA, but I can't be sure. It refers to "major", so that's what makes me think that.</p>
<p>For HIGH SCHOOL GPA: they weight 1.0 for AP/IB courses and .5 for honors/dual enrollment academic courses. Regular course weight is A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. </p>
<p>For FSU COLLEGE GPA:
Excellent A 4.00, A– 3.75, Good B+ 3.25, B 3.00, B– 2.75, Average C+ 2.25, C 2.00, C– 1.75, Poor D+ 1.25, D 1.00, D– 0.75, Failure F 0.00 --- Not all professors give plus or minus grades so you have to check the syllabus on each individual course.</p>
