[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent with rising 9th grader here. If a kid takes PE in summer in order to free up an elective spot, how does that work for GPA calculation? Does the extra elective course add up more points to the GPA? I see on this forum that some kids also take extra courses from community colleges, so how does all that work for GPA? Are these extra courses only for getting college credit and to bump up the resume and don't count towards GPA?[/quote] It would lower your GPA if it is currently over 4.0, raise it if under 4.0. Every class is averaged together at the end, so adding one more class just increases the numerator and denominator of the calculation.[/quote] Right and you’d have no idea when electing to take it pass fail if you’ll need that A later. Additionally, most colleges unweight the gpa when evaluating students, so taking it as a graded class is fine (more than fine). [/quote]
