All Pre-AP, Pre-IB and Honors courses are weighted on a 4.5 point scale (A=4.5, B=3.5, C=2.5, D=1.5), and AP, IB and Concurrent courses are weighted on a 5 point scale (A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2). Our calculation will be used for admission and scholarship purposes.

You should answer all questions on your application — even those that are optional, and consider submitting a secondary letter of recommendation from a core subject teacher.
