Hey! Does anyone know what GPA scale Adelphi University uses? Is it a 4.0 scale, 4.3 scale or something else? And do they weigh AP/IB/honors courses differently? Thanks!
Hi there! Adelphi University uses a 4.0 GPA scale to evaluate students' academic performance. Regarding AP/IB/honors courses, while the university doesn't specifically state their weighting policies on their website, it is common for institutions to consider the rigor of a student's coursework during the admissions process.
Taking challenging courses like AP, IB, or honors can demonstrate to Adelphi that you're intellectually curious and capable of handling college-level work, even if they don't officially adjust your GPA to reflect it. So, while it isn't clear if they apply a numerical weight to those classes, the fact that you've taken a rigorous course load will certainly carry weight during the evaluation process. Best of luck!
