[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I answered you above but you ignored me. No school is unweighting a single class. They:

- ignore freshman grades
- unweight everything
- remove non core classes

Etc. it is some method like the above but whatever it is, it is uniform. Meaning, they are not picking ONE class and saying for just this one we….[/quote]

You are sure about that?  They don't "unweight" Honors classes?  better do some research.[/quote]

That still falls under the PP's statement that they have categorical rules, not class-by-class determinations.

OP, what are you going to do with any answer you get? Your child is taking the class she's taking (which is, in fact, the most rigorous class possible). She'll report the GPA as her school calculates it. College admission offices will do what they do with it and make whatever decision (based, of course, on much more). You can't control any of that and you have no decision to make.[/quote]
