What is it exactly that colleges and the NCAA clearing house are looking at when it comes to GPA's?
Is it the academic GPA? The overall GPA? The 10-12 GPA? Weighted? Unweighted? Thank you.

Core CLasses
16 COre classes only
Math, Science, Social Studies, Language.. Spanish, french..etc..
NO PE, NO ART, NO WOODSHOP, etc... Each school you have a list of approved classes by the NCAA.. CLasses like sociology might be in there etc... But the non academic classes like music, home ec, band, gym, art.... Do not count.
Starts in 9th grade... Though if you take approved classes in 8th grade they can count.. So if you take Algebra in 8th grade or spanish, etc.. They can count...
Math - Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II... Must pass all three
English - 4 years
Social Studies - 4 years
Science - 3 years
Need 16 total...
Can not repeat past junior year as well. Need core 2.3 to be eligible freshmen year.
SAT is a sliding scale.. Higher your GPA lower SAT.. My D1 RB has a GPA of a 3.8... His core is a 3.4.... His SAT only needs to be like a 600 to be eligible.. If your Core GPA is 2.3 you need over a 1000 SAT score to be eligible.. Not easy...
All Grades are the same.. NOT WEIGHTED!! AP or Honors do not get counted differently according to NCAA.. Also a A+ or A- is the same.. Just an A
A = 4
B = 3
C = 2
1 = D
F = 0
Add them up and divide by classes.. Gives you the core.. Pretty simple...

First, all grades are NOT the same. The NCAA Clearinghouse will use weighted grades if the course title indicates it is Honors, AP, IB, etc. The school also has to list the classes as being Honors, etc, along with the weighting when they submit the course to the NCAA Clearinghouse. Secondly, while the CORE determines eligibility, many schools look at overall GPA (not just Core), in terms of admission to school, so often times that is what a college coach may be interested in as well initially. |

Depends on school and or recruit (4/5 recruit will get benefit of doubt.. Have a 4/5 star lineman that at school got in on off Core GPA but cumulative was lower.. Pulled some strings).
