What weights are attached to grades, test scores, essay responses and extra-curricular activities?
Admissions decisions at Wheaton College are based upon a variety of factors, including evidence of Christian faith, grades, test scores, essay responses, extra-curricular activities, and recommendations. Specific weights are not attached to the individual components. Does Wheaton College take into account the rigor of an applicants high school academic program, the rigor of a schools grading system, and the difference between weighted and unweighted grade point averages? Yes, the rigor of your academic program, your schools grading system, and whether GPAs and/or class ranks are weighted are all taken into consideration when we review your application. We evaluate your academic record in the context of what is available to you at your particular high school.
