The math is incorrect here. With 11APs weighted gpa has to be higher if unweighted is 4.0 The spread between unweighted and weighted has to be larger. So one of these numbers are incorrect. [/quote]

Oh yes I was wrong. Unweighted went down first semester because of a B+ in AP Spanish, first one ever. Will be closer to 4.4/ 3.9x at graduation, will probably end with a B+ in that AP this year (senior).

No weighting in honors where we are, just AP and DE.  Was 4.22/ 4.0 end of junior year when applied. This year all AP/DE. Last year 5/7 AP, 2 regular (an elective and Spanish 5). 1 AP in 10th.[/quote]

Congrats to you kid!!!  Do you mind sharing any AP exam scores?  I noticed in various Reddit posts where kids with high 1500s and 36 ACT scores but average AP scores (4s and 3s)  get rejected everywhere except state schools.  My take this year the colleges might be emphasizing AP exam scores which is confirmation of GPA and measure of success at college based on the data they have about their own enrolled students.

Don't submit AP exam scores of 3s and 4s. 
Advice from our CCO.[/quote]

If you take the class and either don’t take the AP exam or don’t submit, I would think school will assume something lower than a 3 or 4. Same logic for test optional … don’t submit if below 25th percentile.

[/quote]

it depends on your HS and how many AP classes. But no good counselor would tell you to submit a 3. That's awful advice.
Ours has had good results with this advice.
But you do you.[/quote]
