I don’t know how you tell where you stand, b/c not all hs are created equal either. I think this is where naviance may come in, if you know how those gpas were calculated (ie: unweighted, weighted, including or not including PE etc.).

I have been to some info sessions where they state that they recalculate gpa according to the classes required for admission. I wonder if a student had 4 years of math, and 3 are required, which 3 classes they choose to use in that calculation, or do they average the 4 years for a student that took calculus in their 4th year, and 3 years for the student that ended with algebra II?
