 They deal with a student¡¯s high school course of study, high school GPA, participation in extracurricular activities, SAT or ACT exam scores, a written essay, and possibly a personal review.

 How is high school GPA calculated?

 First, add all of the points earned for each course grade. 
 ¸ÕÀú °¢ °ú¸ñ ¼ºÀû Á¡¼ö¸¦ ´Ù ´õÇϽʽÿÀ. 
 And divide the total points by the total number of courses taken.
 ±×¸®°í °ú¸ñ ¼ö·Î ³ª´©½Ê½Ã¿À. 
 For example, a GPA of 2.0 is a ¡°C¡± average for all of the courses taken.
