LSDAS GPA Question
Posted: Tue Jun 08, 2010 3:24 am
Alright I have a question which maybe someone here can help with.
The school that I'm finishing up my undergrad with accepts AP scores but only awards credit for them, no grades. However, I have taken classes at another state school in my hometown, and they DO award letter grades for AP classes, in particular I could have 7 more credits of "A" thrown on my transcript I believe.
Now my question is how sketchy would that look, or would it be questionable for me to go to the non-degree granting school, kindly ask them to process my AP scores and get them put onto that transcript? Assuming that was done, even though the same scores are on my degree granting transcript as credit only, I have to assume that I would get the letter grade and corresponding GPA boost from LSDAS correct?
I hate that it is such a numbers game that situations like this even arise, but I want to know if anyone has an opinion on whether this would be legitimate and ethical, because it would boost my GPA by something like .06, which would be terrific.
Thanks for the help!
