Understanding GPA

2020 - 2021 Integrity | Service | Excellence TYPES OF GPA CALCULATIONS

• Weighted – includes 7 points added for Honors, AP, and DE courses in Fulton County
• Unweighted – removes 7 points added for Honors, AP, and DE courses in Fulton County
• Core – only grades for English, Math, Science, Social Studies, & World Language

(sometimes additional AP courses will be considered)

• Cumulative – all classes listed on your high school transcript, including middle school credits

**DO NOT** recalculate your GPA. When applying to schools, scholarships, or other organizations - report the actual weighted numeric GPA listed on the top left of your transcript. Every school calculates GPA differently. If done incorrectly, it could negatively impact your application!
