When UC colleges refer to average high school GPA, would they consider freshman and senior year grades when viewing the transcripts too? Also, how do they look at summer school grades and consider them as part of the overall high school GPA? But seriously, I cannot really tailor any advice to you personally without knowing more about you.
All questions students have about college really start and end with the student—and not with the college. All of them. Including summer school, assuming those appear on your transcript. It will follow you until you are safely ensconced in an institution of higher learning. Until then, discount nothing that appears on this short, but very powerful document. Of course, if there are extenuating circumstances that explain poor performance in your 9th grade year, then perhaps that explanation can appear somewhere in your application. But the UC app offers precious few places to do that sort of thing.
And senior grades will definitely be important—all colleges will ask to see those, and usually will not make a decision without them. If u drop a full year class half way through the year, like a foreign language, is that class counted in your GPA? Only the classes you take and for which you receive credit will be counted in your GPA. Do colleges consider weighted or unweighted GPA when deciding who to admit? When calculating the GPA, do colleges apply the scale with number values such as 3.
For summer school, if I got an A and a B as the grades, what would the GPA be since the seven weeks spent in summer school is similar to a whole year on the subject taken? Thanks, Mark. I feel your advce is really helping me learn more since I will be starting the college application sometime this summer. Changing the grading system like this also change the gpa…and thus does not seem to be apples to apples for how another class may rate a student. My daughter has struggled in her geometry class.
She has a 70 and her teacher told her she has a D. This definitely changes her GPA. If she was in a different geometry class, she would have a C-. Does a California teacher have the power to change the grading system for their class? Hello, Shawn.

Thanks for your interesting question. I think the answer is best sought from your school district. While each state is somewhat different in the amount of meddling in classroom practices, districts set grading policies. Within those policies, teachers may or may not have leeway in setting their own grading system. I know that in most Colorado districts, not only does each classroom teacher have different grading practices, but they may also use different tests, assign different homework, and use completely different teaching methods.
First, grading is not a science. Never has been. Never will be. The dirty little secret is that while all teachers myself included try to establish a fair, scientific, transparent grading scale, the fact is we mess with the numbers all the time.
If we paid more attention to actual learning and proficiency and less attention to inane homework assignments, we might actually be able to compare apples to apples. No matter what numbers the different teachers in your school are using, if they use different tests, assign different homework, and teach differently, there is absolutely no way to ascertain whether your daughter would be getting a C or a D under a different numerical grading system.
But as I say…a pipe dream as long as we have 50 states and 14, school districts in this country. But without them, we will always be comparing apples to kumquats to endive to radishes. All that said, it seems to me that your focus on different grading systems misses the point.

How could she be learning more? Hi Mark, thanks for your speedy reply. I appreciate all of the great info and wisdom you passed onto me. I agree with your last comment…about how much has she really learned if her grade is a C. My issue is a C is considered average. She is not an average student in any of her other classes. She is above average. She now cannot take chemistry until she retakes geometry. So the domino effect now prevents her from also taking algebra II.
Just as you say, nothing is perfect…I am just frustrated.

Thanks again for your reply. The only conflict is that I have to give up a selected class in exchange for this one. Do you think I should check it out or just stick with the classes that I already have? Hi mark, I have a a question that is sort of off topic. Is my choir teacher allowed to lower my grade because of an unexcused absense to an after-school concert? How much would my grade for the class and my gpa lower? Thank you! This is the performance assessment.
As with any other course, your grade depends on how well you perform. If I had been your choir teacher, I would have done exactly the same thing. Thanks for reading my blog and for asking your question. How will the college see that action as since I clearly took the AP courses? You will have to put your fears aside.
You must ask teachers and run the risk they will not say that you are their number one, all-time favorite student. Teachers will be fair, and they see it as their job to promote their students and help them get into the college of their choice.

I have a feeling you are worrying too much. As for the counselor, you need to start building a good relationship with that person…starting now. As for the AP scores, you are again worrying too much. If you leave the scores out, the colleges will assume that you failed or were too lazy to take the test. So submit the scores and let the chips fall where they may. That said, it seems to me that you need to think outside the box a bit when looking at colleges, and stop putting so much pressure on yourself!
There are TONS of awesome colleges out there who want a good student. This a time to get comfortable with who you are and start telling the world about your wonderful characteristics. You may not be perfect, but who is? You will have plenty to offer, and some college that you will absolutely love will snap you right up. Stop fretting!
Maybe I can help! Hello Mark, I was wondering about one thing concerning summer school. Since summer school gives only two grades spent on seven weeks which is equivalent to a whole year, if the grades are a B and an A, how would colleges calculate them into the GPA, assuming they are counted towards sophomore and junior year? Hi Mark, I was thinking about how GPA would be affected since I heard physical education and some classes not related to academics would be cut from the calculation process.
Are there any other suggestions on how to keep the GPA stable and around a decent average? Hi, Eric. Remember, the point of school is to learn stuff. Your GPA is a reflection of your efforts and your abilities.
You just need to be doing the work to the best of your ability—and your GPA will take care of itself. Hello, Abraham.
