<p>Will this look really bad? My grades aren't as good but my courseload is definitely tougher. I am also taking the toughest courseload in my grade and I'll probably be in the top 1-2% of my class. Any tips?</p>
<p>Colleges that calculate your weighted GPA (each using their own method) take the AP courses (and maybe the honors as well) into account, so your WGPA may actually be rising. :)</p>
<p>Well your GPA is going down, but your course load seem to be getting more difficult, so I don't think they will mark it as a negative trend.</p>
<p>how is it physically possible to fit 7 APs in ur schedule!?</p>
<p>well, 6 APs and one college class. and yeah, school's tough this year..im trying to get it n the 3.8+ range, but still idk if i can do it and im really bummed that i actually ahve a downward trend</p>
<p>You may be able to get your weighted GPA in the 3.8 range, but probably not unweighted.</p>
<p>Its better to have the tough schedule you seem to have and get a 3.75 then to get a 4.0 with easier courses so I think colleges will be fine when they see you're challenging yourself</p>
<p>I may be able to get my weighted GPA to the 3.8 range? I think my weighted is a bit higher than that? lol</p>
<p>How so? I thought 3.75 meant your overall GPA now, weighted.</p>
