Answer:

The cumulative GPA

Step-by-step explanation:

Cumulative GPA

The cumulative GPA is the "real" GPA. It is based on all the courses you have taken.

Academic Core GPA

The academic core GPA is your GPA based on what your school considers are the core courses. The core courses are usually English, math, science, history, and languages other than English. Classes such as the fine arts or personal skills are not included.

Weighted Cumulative GPA

Many schools boost the GPA if a course is Honours, AP, IB, or college level. For example, If you an A in AP chemistry, you would get a 5.0 instead of the 4.0 you would get for a regular chemistry class.

Most colleges consider all three types of GPA when they make admissions decisions.
