@RichInPitt It’s hard to calculate my GPA. Before I came to prep school, I had about a 3.9, but it’s probably around a 3.8-ish cumulative now. The SAT is from 2 years ago, so here’s hoping I can actually raise it!

Why is it hard to calculate your GPA?

You can just add up A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0 for each semester, then divide by the number of grades. You can do this for each school separately, and combined (although if the schools have different calendars, you may have to weight grades in proportion to the length of class time they represent).
