4.0 scale or 5.0 scale?

<p>I just checked with my counselor and found out that my GPA is around 3.9
Yes..he said it is weighted..but i got a question..
I plan to apply to UW and they said they only accept weighted....i guess..
if that's so..then what GPA scale do i have? and is my gpa 3.9/5.0? my percentage is 97 or somewhere there... do you think i can apply to uw with this gpa?? i'm not even a resident and i bet my sat won't be so great...do you think i have chance at uw??
ps. i also don't have a "shocking resume"...but ive been doing 2-3 activities for long time continuously...</p>

<p>We don't know whether or not it's out of 5.0 because every high school does it differently but common sense would tell you that a 97/100% would be a 3.9/4.0</p>
