DEFINITION:                                                                     
   The high school grade point average upon which the student's                 
   application for admission is evaluated, based on a 4.0 grading               
   system.  A maximum of 5.0 will be allowed for this element since             
   it is possible to obtain this average with extra weights on a 4.0            
   scale.  The GPA must be based upon the high school subject area              
   units required by the Admission Policy.  The subject areas of                
   English, Math, Natural Science, Social Science, and Foreign                  
   Language should be included.
