<p>Some colleges say that an AP course amounts to a 3.5 if you get a B.
Are there any schools that specifically explain how they weight the GPA.
I am looking at engineering colleges anywhere..
Thanks</p>

<p>That’s how Georgia Tech calculates a weighted GPA. </p>

<p>A+ / A / A- / >90 = 4.0,
B+ / B / B- / 80-90 = 3.0,
C+ / C / C- / 70-80 = 2.0,
D+ / D / D- / 60-70 = 1.0,
F / <60 = 0.0
Add +0.5 for any class that is AP, IB, or taken at a college. They mostly use that to compare in-state students.</p>

<p>Does GT disregard the high school’s grading scale when they recalculate the GPA?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure UC’s calculate their own GPA as well.</p>

<p>They consider the unweighted GPA and the GT GPA (mostly for in-state students to track performance by school). The school’s weighting does not matter.</p>
