<p>Also.. are AP courses considered differently when they are calculated towards my GPA? cuz I'm doing rilli bad in one of my AP courses.. and also...do each university have their own way of calculating GPA? or do they all use the same way? I need some info on how Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton calculate my GPA. Thanks.</p>
<p>it depends on your school
my school adds .5 for an ap class
every class is part of the gpa</p>
<p>my friend gets .75 for an ap i believe and like .25 for an a+ which my school doesn't even have. something like that, point is, every high school is different</p>
<p>.5, .75?? omg my school weights ap classes by .05 ! so gay, before that they weighed it .1 but it changed for my class. urrgggg im so mad to hear other HS have different weighting procedures and thats why while some students with the same raw gpa of lets say 90 can translate into either a 3.9/4.0 or 4.5/4.0</p>
<p>no electives</p>
<p>at our school, a 90 (if the courses weren't ap) would be 3.5...
with some ap's it would be above that</p>
<p>so ummm... which high school grades will the GPA include? all the academics in high school? or only academics in senior year? or otherwise?</p>
<p>All your high school grades are sent out to the colleges.
Some colleges recalculate GPAs by cutting out electives and stuff.
My school doesn't weight, which, simply put, sucks for me. Oh well :) So, as people have said, it varies from school to school. Ask your counselor.</p>
<p>My school weights things by one whole point.</p>
<p>The regular scale: A (4), B (3), C (2), D (1), F (0).
The weighted scale: A (5), B (4), C (3), D (1), F (0).</p>
<p>what about my senior year? do the universities only use the term 1 marks for GPA calculation? or do they not use marks in senior year for GPA?</p>
<p>bump......</p>
<p>My school gives honors classes an extra point, and AP two! (I am told by others though OUTSIDE of my school that it is weighted that way to show the intensity of it, because it is way more than average.)</p>
<p>We also have a "partial credit" system where a B-, B+, and A- all give you different GPA values. (3.0, 3.67, and 4.0 respectively)</p>
