[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan always recalculates gpa. Private college counselor said no one gets in below 3.7uw, and even then that’s usually WL.

Google Michigan gpa recalculation to see the formula.[/quote]

Depends on private vs public. Public schools allow test retakes so your UW is expected to be higher. It should be 4.0. Also depends on your classes. Schools view tougher subjects differently. We know kids getting in IVY with unweighted 3.5-3.7 because the kids took impossible class load that was then weighted. There is also
legacy and still if you are part of a desired group that you can write about in your essay. Your college counselor can also discuss anything unique about you as a student. There is so
much that goes into admissions. Colleges are now starting to go back to SAT etc because so hard to figure out which schools inflate/deflate grades. DCUM tends to slant negative. I imagine a bunch of moms encouraging people not to apply to certain schools while their kid applies everywhere. It is a thing. [/quote]

Not all publics or all teachers allow retakes. Stop the silliness.  I’ve had kids in both public and private and I know there can be differences but the generalizations of each is tiresome and mean to the kids.[/quote]
