🚨This is stated perfectly‼️🚨
🎓 That GPA on your student’s transcript may NOT be the GPA a college uses!
Here’s something families need to understand BEFORE senior year! 👀
High schools calculate GPA differently, so some colleges recalculate grades using their own formulas.
🏫 University of Arkansas may recalculate GPA based on its academic weighting policies.
👍 Texas A&M uses STARS (formerly SRAR), where students report their individual courses and grades. This detailed information can support multiple GPA calculations—not just an overall GPA, but also GPAs by academic subject area!
📊 Think about that! One transcript can provide insight into overall academic performance AND performance in math, science, English, and other subjects.
💡 The takeaway? A 3.8 GPA doesn’t necessarily tell the same story at every high school.
Colleges may evaluate course rigor, individual grades, academic trends, and subject-specific performance—not just one number.
🎯 Your GPA is one number. Your transcript tells the whole story!
That’s why strategic course planning matters long before college application season.
📌 Save this and share it with a family preparing for college admissions!
