<p>Okay my school does has the unweighted GPA thing. So I'm an upcoming junior with a 3.57 GPA. Last year I had a 3.43 and I've already increased it this much. I plan on taking AP classes this year as well as my senior year. If I get all A's the rest of my high school career do you think I can get a 4.0 and be valedictorian? I know, I know a little dreamy but I really want to do it!</p>
<p>in order to have a 4.0 you have to have it since freshman year., str8 a's four years.. the highest you could bring it up to would be a 3.6775 just a quick calculation.</p>
<p>But since my school grades on the unweighted scale if I took an AP and got an A couldn't that bring it up?</p>
<p>AP would only be beneficial if it WAS weighted. Unweighted an AP A would have zero difference over regular.</p>
<p>FSU I did a calculation as well and I noticed it was different.</p>

<p>3.57 UW of a cumulative Freshman and Sophmore can be brough up to a 3.785 according to my calculations.</p>
<p>3.57x2=7.14+8(Junior 4.0+ Senior 4.0)=15.14/4=3.785</p>
<p>ok I get why yours is different I calculated it from junior year-freshman you calculated it freshman-sophmore.</p>
<p>Are you kidding? There have got to be kids who had high GPAs fresh and soph years and will continue to get top grades. How can you possibly pass them to become Val?</p>
<p>You don't want to try to become Valedictorian anyway. </p>
<p>The one thing you don't realize is that the people who do become Valedictorian are very responsible, and have excellent study skills. If there's any test you can prepare for, and there are a lot of them, they will ace it. They will get very near a 100 on any HMWK turned in, and turn in quality projects. Neway, that was my experience.</p>
<p>The only thing that will save you is if they are not able to read/analyze and write, or do not understand math/science. </p>
<p>You must be signifigantly better at school than they are over the next 2 years, and it's probably not possible unless you go to a very weak high school.</p>
<p>here in florida, we have dual enrollment opportunities, so like if you made a B in a course in Freshman year, you can dual enroll in a weighted class at a community college and if you receive an A in the college class, it can subistute your B grade....They take the top 24 credits for val/sal....just giving some input...</p>
