Convert letter grades to points and then divide by the number of classes
*Remember to give semester credit classes only ½ of the points!!!
(For example, a B in Wellness A would count 1.5 points, not 3)

College Preparation
College Credit During High School
Making Students Stand Out on College
Applications – have you taken the most
challenging courses offered?
College admission is based on your GPA and
Rank for 9th - 11th grade (6 semester)
Colleges consider your Core GPA!!!
Pick the right preparatory
courses while in high school.
BALANCE outside
activities/responsibilities with
academics.
Build a Resume:
volunteer/summer/service
activities, leadership
experience, and
awards/recognitions should
be included.
Be sure to contact your
student’s counselor if you
have any questions!
