You count 4 for A, 3 for B etc. Only count the 4 core areas plus language. Nothing else gets counted. Only give yourself a bump (i.e., 5 for an A) if (1) it is AP or IB and (2) there was no extra credit already factored into your grade. Do not give a grade bump if it is Pre-Ap, Honors, Dual Credit. You can find this information on the Admissions blog, but I went through it in detail last year. I'm from out of state and the way my school did things, my gpa was pretty low for UGA (4.0 on their scale). I still got in EA because they know my school and that an A in an Honors class is actually really hard to get...so don't freak out about it too much. They are also looking at your school, its reputation and the rigor.
