[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think any of this matters. [b]It’s just unweighted GPA in core subjects [/b]— They aren’t weighing AAP v. Honors for rigor. Nor are they looking at who took world language in 7th. It’s basically a lottery at this point. [/quote]

GPA is not only core the website states it includes language grade is accounted for GPA  as mentioned below

GPA is calculated using 7th grade final marks (report card grades) and 1st Quarter 8th grade marks in math, science, English, and social studies. World language also is considered in this calculation if it is being taken for a full high school credit. We do not look at any other marks.

can anyone who have applied this year clarify ?[/quote]

Yes, world language is included in GPA, since it’s a HS level course. What I meant is that I don’t think your child gets a bump or special credit for starting world  language in 7th. It’s just another grade contributing to their overall unweighted GPA (along w core curriculum). [/quote]
