Will colleges put into great consideration the grading scale of your high school?
At my high school, a 94-100 is an A, 90-93 is a B+, 89 to 84 is a B, etc.
Also, the only weighting available is a mere .5 for each AP you take. The average SAT at our public school also rounds off at almost 1200.
Will colleges see this and possibly not feel nautious when they see my 3.55 GPA? My GPA unweighted is about 3.52
any advice is appreicated

<p>A 3.55 is respectable. Of course, it’s very dependent on your rank, high school, other facets of the application, and the university you are applying to.</p>
<p>Don’t colleges usually calculate the GPA themselves according to their own weighting ect?</p>
