[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm familiar with one university's procedures. They recalculate GPAs based on core subjects, without any weights. Rigor is calculated separately. So AP Precalc wouldn't show up differently than regular or honors in terms of the GPA, but it would get extra consideration in terms of rigor.[/quote]

Yes. similar. 
The T20 we know does very similar: UW GPA for all core courses, plus a separate rigor score: points for highest level course taken that the school offers in that subject area,  In otherwords APChem and APphysC score max science points, APES does not if either of the other are offered. APphys1 does not score max if APphysC is offered. APBC scores max unless there is a regular cohort taking Multivariable in that HS. And so on. there is a rigor score for each year then an overall rigor. It takes less than a minute for an AO to calculate based on the high school profile provided by HS as well as AOs keep data on prior years --they get to know different HS very well. [/quote]
