Weighted & unweighted GPA - totally confused!

Applying to College
1

<p>My daughter’s HS reports her GPA as 104.18. Apparently this is calculated by averaging the semester grade for all academic classes, with 10 pts added to any pre-AP or AP classes. I’m trying to convert this to the 4.0 scale, but I’m seeing so many different formulas! </p>

<p>Anyone want to take a stab at it? Here are her grades at the end of sophomore year. What would be her weighted and unweighted GPA using the formula that most colleges use?</p>

<p>Class…Sem 1…Sem 2
pre-AP Bio…93…93
pre-AP Eng…97…95
pre-AP Geom…93…93
pre-AP Span2…95…97
pre-AP Geog…97…98</p>

<h2>Speech…94</h2>

<p>AP WorldHist…95…96
pre-AP Alg2…98…98
pre-AP Chem…90…89
pre-AP Eng2…98…99
pre-AP Span3…96…98
BCIS…98…95</p>

<p>How do I convert the above grades to the 4.0 scale… weighted and unweighted?</p>

<p>It depends on the college, but I would recommend calling anything above 90 an A, greater than 80 and less than 90 a B, and so on. Then say that an A is a 4 for the unweighted GPA and an A is 5 for honors/AP classes.</p>
