[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach college. The first thing our admissions office does when they receive a transcript is _unweight_ and recalculate the GPA. Weighted GPAs vary so much in different environments (I even saw a US student once, in a conventional school, with a GPA on something like a scale of 1 to 6 or 7) that they cannot be compared. We give a separate rating based on strength of curriculum that takes AP, IB, honors, and other challenging classes into account, but it does not nuance every individual course. Weighted GPA matters if a student is going to have access (or not) to something within their own school as a result. At the college level? Not so much. Just inventory the grades.[/quote] That is not the topic of this thread. We are talking about middle school grades being on high school transcripts and calculated into the high school GPA[/quote]
