[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear everyone. I asking about the very specific mathematical recalculation of GPAs schools do.  I understand that most/many add weight for APs classes but not for honors.

So asking about this class. Not overall holistic review of her application.

I am hearing that this may not be knowable at least not yet? I do hear that people do see the GPAs recalculated so wonder if people will be able to figure it out. [/quote]

You are not in fact hearing everyone. Everyone is telling you that the “very specific mathematical recalculation of GPAs schools do” is not a thing. Many schools don’t reweight GPAs at all, and the ones that do mostly don’t reveal their methods (there are exceptions, like the UC schools). Many don’t look at weighted GPAs; they look at rigor and how the applicant compares to others from their HS. I’ve never heard of a school singling out an AP class and announcing a different policy.

This is not knowable now. It will not be knowable in the future. The end.[/quote]
