GPA Calcuation
There are many ways you may need to calculate your GPA. Your Kell/Cobb County transcript shows your overall weighted GPA, but oftentimes, colleges use different formulas than Kell does for calculating a student's GPA for admission purposes. You may need to e-mail or contact the admission office of the colleges you are considering to find out exactly how they determine the GPA for admission to their college.
The HOPE Scholarship definitely uses a different GPA calculation than Kell/Cobb County GPA on your transcript to determine a students eligibility for the HOPE Scholarship. http://www.gacollege411.org/has a link to your HOPE GPA Calculation. You will need to log in to your gacollege411 account to access it. See your counseling office if you need help loging in.
The attachment below will describe in detail how to calculate your Core weighted and non-weighted GPA so you have the information you need when it comes to college admissions. The Exel spread sheet below will help you calculate your core GPA with or without weighting by just plugging in the number of A's, B's, C's etc. and any bonus quality points taken for honors and AP courses (if aplicable).
