Hey people, quick thing. I'm figuring out my chances at FSU and was curious about their GPA scale. Is it the same 4.0 scale or something different? Thanks a lot!
Hi there! FSU, like many universities, calculates GPA on a 4.0 scale. However, it's worth noting that they use a weighted GPA for their calculation, which means they take into account the rigor of your courses. This means honors and AP classes can contribute to a GPA above the standard 4.0. Their calculation also reflects Florida's public university system, which assigns additional weight to certain courses.
Remember, admission decisions are not solely based on GPA as they consider other factors as well such as coursework, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular involvement, and more. Best of luck with your application!
