so you have 23.5 credits? I am not a math person, so I am trying to figure out how that works. IF you have 6 classes a day, all year, you would have 18 credits. How did you get the other 5? Do you have 8 classes each semester?
Sorry for my ignorance.

But here is how I would calculate your GPA-
22x4=88
1.5x3=4.5
88+4.5=92.5
92.5/23.5=3.93 unweighted

If you had 3 B’s in all year classes it would be
20.5x4=82
3x3=9
82+9=91
91/23.5=3.87 (or 3.9)

If she put in for 3 b’s as 6.0 classes (basically giving you 1.0 per semester rather than .5 per semester), instead of 3.0 classes it would be:

17.5x4=70
6x3=18
70+18=88
88/23.5=3.74

Like I said, I am not a math person, but everyway I work it out, it is higher than a 3.5. I would try to take this above the counselor. If you do apply for the scholarship, and the counselor sends in a GPA different than what you put down your GPA actually is, you will have problems.

Good Luck!
