Message: [QUOTE="HuskyMJ, post: 2652393, member: 2096"] It depends on how her school calculates GPA. If she just took regular courses then probably you are right but if she took a large load of college courses then maybe her grades are fine. You can see kids take similar courses, earn similar grades but have very different GPAs because school districts can really vary. Admissions department can adjust for those variances. Some schools offer .5 extra if you take AP courses. Some offer 1.0 extra if you take AP courses, so if you got a B in the class some will give .5 boost to B+, some give 1.0 boost to A. Some report their GPA unweighted, without those boosts, some report weighted, with those boosts. Also SAT factors in because I think the higher your SAT score the lower your GPA can probably be.
