So I have been calculating GPAs 15 million different ways . . . cumulative flat and weighted, core academic both ways, core including foreign language both ways etc. Now is the time to bring up any HS class grades that were taken in MS. I am trying to figure out how to thread the needle for academic merit benchmarks and in-state tuition waivers at the non-conservatory options to get a good picture on costs not including any possible talent $$$. Each school calculates a bit differently and the kid hovers between a B- and an A- depending on how you slice it. It looks like Temple uses unweighted core plus language. Does anyone have experience with the range of possible music talent $$$ that might stack with that? I recall someone saying that Temple #s came out looking good for them but that it was in large part academic merit $$$.
