I’m attending at a priviate high shool(not competitive at all), and I don’t think my school’s grading scale is fair…
Here’s my school’s grading scale.
96-100 (A) -4.00
93-95 (A-) -3.67
90-92 (B+) -3.33
87-89 (B) -3.00
84-86 (B-) -2.67
81-83 (C+) -2.33
78-80 (C) -2.00
75-77 (C-) -1.67
72-74 (D+) -1.33
70-71 (D) -1.00
honors or ap classes - extra +.66
So, the highest gpa you can get is 4.66, and you have to take a religion class(regular). and there are not many honors or ap classes.
I transfered from a public school using scale 90-100 : a -4.0 80-90-3.0…so on.
I’m making 4.233 gpa right now, and I’m taking most rigorous classes possible.
Do you think I get disadvantage from this strange(!) grading scale at admission? or do they recalculate the gpa?
*p.s.
How important is religion class? Religion is the only class I’m making B right now(all As except religion) and I’m so worried.
My school’s religion is harder than CALCULUS BC , honors Electronics&Magnetism and honors Waves&optics!!
(E&M and W&O are honors classes, but you can take it ‘after’ you take honors academy physics, and my school does not offer ap phy. so… i guess it’s equivalent to AP physics?)
