You know how...

Applying to College
1

<p>you know how different schools have different grading scale?
how do colleges take that into consideration?
I know that the HS will send that info with the transcript,
but won't GPA be affected?</p>

<p>E.G.
in my county
94-100 A
90-93 B+
84-89 B
and so on
less than or equal to 63 being fail.</p>

<p>If I were to "compete" with a student from a HS where 90 or higher is an A,
my GPA could be lower than his/hers due to the diff. in the grading scale...</p>

<p>How the hxxx to colleges weight GPAs anyhow (give me an example...)</p>

<p>please help... people don't reply to my post... please do, I really want to know!! </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I do not about the grading scales... but I do know that if your school weighted your GPA due to honors and AP courses, most top colleges unweight it and then look at the difficulty of your courses.</p>

<p>colleges will look at rankings</p>

<p>I also believe colleges recalculate the GPA based on raw grades, at least some do.</p>
