I wanted to develop an instructional page of questions and concerns parents might have in order to guide and advise a young student towards a College Education. GPA or Grade point average is simply the average of a students grades. If at the end of the 11th grade year a student has all A's then they will have a 4.0 average. The student with the highest GPA is the top student in that class.
Transcripts generally contain courses, grades, and credits at each grade level.
Usually GPA's class rank, anticipated graduation date and PSAT, ACT or SAT scores. Students who do not complete these course may be required to take additional courses who expected in there first year at a college. Below is a listing from Towson State University Admission Policies for Freshmen Freshmen applicants are admitted to the university based on the following guidelines and timetable. Students seeking freshman admission should submit an application, SAT I or ACT scores, and an official high school transcript to the Office of Admissions during the first semester of their senior year of high school. Applicants who would like to be considered for merit scholarships should apply by December 1, 2000.
