Comment on Why You’re Wrong about Your GPA, and what to Do about it by Brenna

Brenna — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 05:56:55 +0000

Im a senior in high school and on my college applications it asked me to calculate my 10-12 grade GPA. It then had a link that would help you calculate it. So I put in my 10 and 11 grades only (because I don't have any official grades for senior year yet) and it came up with a score of 3.5 but my high school says I have a 3.46.
The college site says that if any of the information an applicant personally reports does not match his or her transcript, the application will be canceled.
I don't know which score to put.
I want to put to 3.5 because that's what their suggested calculator gave me, but I'm afraid it might cause trouble when they see my transcript.

Comment on 25 Minute Miracle: How to earn a 12 on the SAT essay by james

I especially like the advice about recommending students create an essay brainstorming bank. I recommend that student's review their english notes for themes and character names from some of the books they have read. I feel that you can draw examples from Shakespeare to support a number of arguments. As for history, I usually recommend that students review World War 2 and the great depression, as there are a number of examples that can be drawn from the great depression that you can apply to any argument.

I find it interesting that "Top Online Colleges" are one of your advertisers. In my experience, they DO NOT accept homeschoolers, unless you take a GED... something HSLDA frowns upon.
