<p>I have a 3.94 UW (4.00 if you don't count PE) and a 4.18 W. Others on CC have like a 4.5 which is crazy!!!</p>
<p>Is it maybe because my school doesn't have honors classes (except for fourth year french and fourth year spanish)? I haven't taken the most rigorous course load but I've taken close to what is possible.</p>
<p>freshman: no ap/honors (doesn't exist for freshman's unless you're a freshman in calc)
sophomore: 2 aps (if I were in calc that'd make 3 but I was in precalc)
junior: 3 aps 1 honors (i could've taken ap chem but I have to take normal chem first, which I'm doing now)
next year senior: 3 aps </p>
<p>Am I just being lazy and not taking all the ap's or is my school not having honors courses affecting me? </p>
<p>Second question: next year, I really want to have a life and enjoy my last year in high school. so, should i take ap physics or should i take a community college science course?</p>
<p>my prospective schedule
ap econ/gov
ap calc bc
ap english lit
physics
choir</p>
<p>personally, the community college courses interest me more than physics but would another ap class look better on college apps?
i really don't want to take both... </p>
<p>thanks guys!</p>
<p>In most schools, honors courses are not weighted.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In most honors classes are weighted…</p>
<p>Really o.o? At my school, only AP classes are weighted.</p>
<p>Yea, after hanging around CC for awhile I can safely say most schools weight honors classes.</p>
<p>It’s called not sleeping.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about your weighted GPA - the disparity in GPA weighting between schools is why colleges usually disregard weighted GPA and usually just use unweighted GPAs - or they’ll just calculate it themselves by looking at your grades and using your own system.</p>
<p>Since there are no honors classes at my school, the only way to get a 4.5 would be to take 14 AP classes, and get an A an every single one of them, which would mean taking 7 AP classes for 11th and 12th grade since that’s the only time you can take AP classes, lol.</p>
<p>As long as you have a high unweighted GPA and lots of honors/AP courses, you’re fine. Every school has a different weighting system. Disregard weighted GPA and focus on getting those A’s.</p>
<p>I have the same GPA as you XD but don’t worry about grades and GPA so much… It’s best if you’re a better test taker so you’d pass the AP exams & high scores on SAT rather than just getting an A in the class.</p>
<p>Colleges dont care for weighted GPA. All schools weight them differently. They just look at the courses you took and your grades in them.
I, at my school have a 4.0 unweighted.
My school only weighs AP classes by half a point (4.5), and as a freshman, im only taking one of em so I’d have a 4.1 Weighted.
Other schools weight 4.5 for honors and 5 for AP, in which case i would have a 4.28 Weighted (1 AP and 2 Honors because my school doesnt offer many honors classes, only in sciences and maths)</p>
