Recalculated GPA

Colleges like Stanford recalculate your GPA in the following way.

1. The round all your + and - grades. So if you have and A+ that becomes and A and if you have a A- that becomes and A. If you have a B+ that becomes a B. And so forth.

2. They throw out out your 9th grade year. So your Stanford GPA will be based on 10th and 11th if you are applying SCREA and 10th/11th/1st semester 12th if you are applying RD.

Colleges like the UC system have their own proprietary recalculating system which can be described in more detail following this link:

If your school calculated your weighted GPA a certain way in most cases unless the colleges recalculate everything as part of their "apples to apples" policy, they will leave your weighted GPA the same as it is reported on your official transcript. They will not give your honors classes a 5.0 weight arbitrarily because they are trying to compare other students from your own school or zip code or district or whomever nearby that uses the same GPA system to make things simpler.

Good luck

Hi @Swayam_Jain17!

Each college probably has a different system of recalculating GPA and I don't think anyone except admissions officers would be able to tell you the exact method for any particular college.
