[quote=Anonymous]Let's summarize a bit here:
- Honors, Advanced Level, AP/IB, and dual enrollment courses all received an additional "quality point" (letter grade) for weighted GPA calculations, if the course grade was A, B, or C.
- Honors courses typically have a non-honors version, although some schools may not be offering the non-honors version to anyone anymore.
- There are some courses that only have non-honors versions (Algebra 1, 1st 2 years of FL).
- Advanced Level, AP, and IB courses do not have an equivalent on-level version.
- Magnet courses are typically rated Advanced Level
- PLTW courses are advanced level (including IED https://coursebulletin.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/CourseDetails/Index/TEC2017A)

Some colleges (including UMD) have students input their entire transcript into a Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR), and then the university/major can do whatever data manipulation they want based on their own priorities.[/quote]
