Some of these states have some weird GPA measurements. Apparently in Florida if you take classes at a community college those classes can double or triple your GPA in their calculations.
It’s getting insane.
At the schools around here AP classes give you the chance to earn a 5.0 for that grade but that’s not enough to push your overall GPA up that high because of all those other 4.0s you received the prior 3 years.
Because of that most colleges will take your transcript and convert it to a standard GPA scale and not use what the high school gave you.
