For what it’s worth, if you are interested in how Elon recalculates GPA it’s 1.0 added for honors and 2.0 for AP

I am interested in that, as S20 is applying to Elon and it is high on his middling-long list. I did not know Elon calculated the GPA that way, but it moves his GPA into a much more comfortable area. Thanks.

Note there can be significant differences in how admissions staff consider GPAs when making decisions vs. the way a school’s institutional reporting might calculate an average class GPA
