Since Finals Place factors into this award, please do not fill out this form until AFTER the State Finals have been completed. Coaches are encouraged to get your GPA information together early, however.<\/strong>
Academic All State Info<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Academic All State Awards are based on a 4.0 grading scale and submitted to 3 decimal places (ie 3.985).<\/strong>

If your school uses weighted grades for AP or other courses, then it is the responsibility of the coach or person submitting to convert the grades (BY HAND IF NECESSARY)<\/strong> to a 4.0 Scale.

Taking a GPA of 4.234 and simply truncating it to 4.000 is NOT an acceptable conversion.<\/strong>

If a student has earned a \u201cA-\u201d \u2026 in ANY class \u2026 EVER \u2026 he\/she does NOT have a 4.0 GPA for the purposes of Academic All State Awards.  A 4.000 means that a student has earned ALL \u201cA\u201d grades, EVERY semester so far.<\/strong>

An \u201cA\u201d in an Advanced Placement<\/em> class is worth 4.000. An \u201cA\u201d in a college-dual-enrollment class<\/em> is worth 4.00.  An \u201cA\u201d in Sub-Remedial-Basket-Weaving-For-Dummies<\/em> is worth <\/strong>4.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following grading scale MUST be used (converted from 5.0 as necessary). AN A- DOES NOT = A 4.0<\/strong>. If this grading scale is not used by your school, you must convert your athlete’s current GPA to reflect this scale. 
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7
D+ = 1.3
D = 1.0
D- = 0.7
F = 0.0
You may need to go through each grade in the student\u2019s transcript and total them up and calculate the average.  Submissions that are made incorrectly will not be considered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
