[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if the advanced courses are serious ones like AP Calc BC and beyond, and AP Phys C, AP Spanish Lit, etc... does it confer a distinct college admissions advantage? [/quote] Weighted GPA only matters in the context of your HS. You can't compare weighted GPA's between districts, because every district is different. For example in MCPS PE is a graduation requirement, and there is no weighted option. That combined with the fact that the highest weight in in any single course is +1 , means that no one has a 5.0. On the other hand, I have relatives in Texas whose kids take classes that the school weights at + 2, or +3, so a 5.0 would mean that kid didn't have a lot of rigor. If your weighted GPA is at the top of the range for your particular school, and your kid took the highest level of rigor then that will serve them well. [/quote]
