<p>hi, okay so i’m just going to get right down to it</p>
<p>i know this is a stupid question but how do you calculate your gpa? in high school, it was a combination of all my classes from all years (9th, 10th, etc) however my friend who has applied to a csu had her gpa go up to 3.6 because they included her ib classes? so i don’t know. i pretty much had the same gpa in high school and we got the same ib score.</p>
<p>also, should i even bother applying to ‘good’ schools with a low gpa? i want to go into drama, and i wanted to apply to the usc school of theatre however i don’t know if they look at academics more or the audition tape more.</p>
<p>with student loans, i am an international student. have any of you guys applied for loans through websites? ive googled some college loan websites however i don’t know if theres a catch with any of them or not.</p>
<p>thanks for the help in advance.</p>
