Understanding Grade' Point
Average that is required
Unweighted GPA: Takes into consideration the average of all course work, including electives.
Weighted GPA: Typically takes into consideration only core subject work, removing electives and Physical Education. Grades earned from honors, AP or IB coursework are weighted because the academic rigor is higher in these classes. Typically, a grade out of 100 is given 10 more points, increasing the grade a full letter grade. (ex. 78 becomes an 88; B becomes A)
