<p>That really sucks. I faced a similar situation (transferred from a top private that got at least 40% into top LACs and Ivies) to the local public. And I have the EXACT same problem with my weighted GPA. definitely try and get a letter of recommendation explaining the situation from your private school (I’m probably going to try and get one from the head cuz I had a really good relationship with her)
I didn’t know counselors could separate the two gpas (mine certainly wont) but if you’re having trouble fulfilling the local requirements online classers are a great option. i’ve taken one so far and will be taking another in the fall. I’m not sure about your area but I know my county offers APs online</p>
