What is average GPA/Grades for top 25% at TJ - tryign to figure out where out DD will fall |
Top half could be approximately 4.2 to 4.663 weighted. You can go with 4.4 to 4.663 to be in top quarter. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/1192287.page |
OP here - thanks for sharing the thread. Still a little confused. How does 2 Bs by junior year place my DD. Rest are all As. |
Out of 21 courses taken, how many have 4, 4.5, 5 weightings? the ones with B have what weighting? |
OP here - 1 of the B is from a course with 0.5 weightage, and the other from a course with 1 weightage |
Out of 21 courses taken, how many have 4, 4.5, 5 weightings? |
1st year - 8 courses, 6 with 1 weightage, and 2 with 0.5
B+ in one of the courses with weightage 0.5 2nd year - 8 courses, 6 with weightage 1 and 2 with 0.5 A in all of them 3rd year - 9 courses taken, 5 with weightage 1, 4 with 0.5 B in one of them, and A- in one of them |
OP again: In 3rd year B is on the course with weighatge 1 |
First year English, Bio, RS1 are all weighted as honors so that's 0.5. If you get an A, your GPA will be 4.5, A- will be 4.2 and so on and so forth. You can calculate yourself. You should be able to find the GPA in sis. |
you are mixing up Credit and Weight-age
if course is listed as 1 / weighted +1.0 => means course has 1 credit, and an A = 4.0 unweighted, and the +1 means, A = 5.0 weighted. and so on. without that detail, cant determine weighted gpa Anyway, in parentvue, if the weighted GPA is above 4.4 they are in top 25% for sure. |
Does'nt the school profile list the GPA from end of Senior year? OP is quoting grades from Junior year. Top X% is always a mystery. Does anyone know if the Naviance shows the GPA from senior year too? |
According to TJ school profile, the Class of 2022 Final Grade Point Averages (8th semester) ranged from 3.255 to 4.663
Based on the multiple Naviance scattergrams for TJ, a weighted average of 4.65 or above is top 01% 4.64 or above is top 02% 4.60 or above is top 05% 4.55 or above is top 10% 4.53 or above is top 15% 4.50 or above is top 25% 4.45 or above is top 33% 4.40 or above is top 40% 4.38 or above is top 50% 4.35 or above is top 60% 4.33 or above is top 66% 4.30 or above is top 75% 4.00 or above is top 90% 3.75 or above is top 95% 3.25 or above is top 100% |
Do you know if the GPA in Naviance is also from the 8th semester (not from Junior year, when they apply)? |
Likely GPA of the applicant, so Junior year. 8th semester GPA is obviously not available when the offer/reject decision is made. |
DC is currently at TJ and 4.0 weighted. His counsellor, who has been at TJ for a ling time, puts him in the top half of his class.
Is the counsellor worng? |
