How will colleges calculate my GPA?

Applying to College

<p>I’m applying to Harvard SCEA and I’m wondering how they will calculate the GPA they assign me, because my school will only report the letter grade.</p>

<p>Here are my grades (only of my core classes):</p>

<p>8 honors classes: 6 A+'s and 2 A’s
8 AP classes: 6 A+'s, 1 A, and 1 B+</p>

<p>So with these 16 classes taken from my first three years of high school, what is my weighted and unweighted GPA according to Harvard? I’m not sure if they would take into account my weighted or unweighted</p>

<p>They will probably just look at your course selection and grades holistically.</p>

<p>Other colleges may be different.</p>

<p>If you were to actually calculate it that looks like a 3.94. But as UCB stated Harvard looks at things holistically. Your grades will NOT be what keeps you from getting into H.</p>
