Will colleges think I'm padding my gpa?

I have a 3.6 UW gpa right now and I want to raise it to a 3.65-3.7 ish by admissions time(Please don’t think I’m a slacker. I’m ranked 19/700 in my class). I have taken 2 AP Classes(macro and computer sci A) online through flvs and I’m signed up for 3 more(calc ab,environmental,and art history) this summer. They raise my gpa but I am taking the courses for college credit not to raise my gpa, although it is an added benefit. Will top colleges see this as trying to pad my gpa for admissions?

No- taking more advanced classes is not padding your GPA.

Agreed; give AO’s some credit. :slight_smile:

Haha okay lol. I just started getting nervous because people have been getting mad at me at school because I have a higher rank than them saying that I pad my gpa with online classes and dual enrollment.

AP’s don’t pad your GPA. You’re good. Don’t listen to those people. You’re the one with the higher rank. :wink:

^^ the rings don’t lie.

lol and first of all, nothings stopping them from taking em online. They’re not taking the time out of their life to do it, but you are so forget them they shouldn’t be complaining.
