<p>When you get accepted to a college, and when you start taking the mandatory classes, how is the ranking system measured? Does everyone start with a clean slate, a 4.0. or does everyone have their previous GPA’s from Highschool? </p>
<p>Help???</p>
<p>clean slate… I think its actually a 0.0 GPA since you have no grade points to average</p>
<p>Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me to have everyone’s GPAs be randomly different entering college.</p>
<p>To add on to the OP’s question, is AP credit factored in to college GPA at all?</p>
<p>At my local college it gets added to the transcript as a Pass (P) grade, but is not factored into the GPA.</p>
<p>No, shiftyeyes. But colleges do prefer a 3.6 in all APs than a 4.0 in normal classes.</p>
<p>I presume that it is a clean slate considering that some people do not have GPAs (for example I am applying from a school in England).</p>
