very few schools are going to recalculate it.

Do you know of any schools specifically that recalculate gap besides like UCs?

The NACAC does a survey each year, where they ask college admissions departments at over 1000 colleges a variety of questions about college admissions, including GPA recalculation. A summary from one of the surveys is at http://www.nacacnet.org/studentinfo/articles/Pages/Factors-in-the-Admission-Decision.aspx and quoted below:

About two-thirds of high schools weight their GPAs for students who take college preparatory courses. To account for different grading scales among high schools, more than half of colleges recalculate applicants’ GPAs to standardize them.

Given that the majority of colleges in the survey recalculate GPA, it would be quite a long list of schools.
