[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the difference between honors and advanced level? How are they weighted?[/quote]

Kidding aside, colleges laugh at this and just exclude it from their GPA calculations.[/quote]
So colleges do their own calculations on applicants' GPA?  [/quote]

Yes, for example, I've heard UC Berkeley doesn't even look at 9th grade grades, and most will completely ignore non-academic courses.[/quote]

Also, most don't give extra weight to honors and only recognize AP or IB classes for additional weight.[/quote]

What about the classes that are tagged as “advanced level” in the course bulletin linked on this thread? All the Blair magnet courses are “advanced level” - are you saying that they are weighted the same as a non advanced class? How does this work? What about Spanish 4 (“advanced level”) vs Spanish 4 hons (honors)?[/quote]

They're likely treated the same. As to magnet courses, it may depend on the class. It would be easy to simply treat them all as AP level but not sure that's the case.[/quote]
