<p>Hey, I have a 96.5 avg (W) at my highschool with around a (91) unweighted.
I've taken all APs/honors courses with pretty competitive people. I was wondering how my 96.5 would be categorized with the 4.0 scale. </p>
<p>Lowest grade in a quarter was an 80 I got in 10th grade honors history.</p>
<p>Haha, I have a 96.5 average as well (mine's unweighted though.)</p>
<p>To get out of 4.0, I think you can do like...</p>
<p>Grades btwn 95-100 = 4.0
94 = 3.9
93 = 3.8
etc.</p>
<p>Mine comes out to ~3.94</p>
<p>Is that consistent with every/most school system? I have a 95.618 unweighted, so would that mean I ahve a 4.0 unweighted?</p>
<p>No, you can't do it like, if your average is above a 95, you have a 4.0... You have to take all of your final grades by themselves, asign them a 4.0-scale value, and then average all of them.</p>
<p>For example, mine were like this...</p>
<p>Junior grades: 93 (3.8), 97, 97, 97, 99, 99, 100 (4.0)
4.0 * 6 + 3.8 = X
X / 7 = 3.97</p>
<p>Haha, sorry if that was sorta confusing but hopefully you get this idea.</p>
<p>I think that with<em>one</em>voice is correct.</p>
<p>You have to look at all your individual classes; any that are under a 90 would be considered a 3.0, any above are considered 4.0. Then you can just take an average of the scores out of 4.0 (assuming all classes are equally weighted credit-wise).</p>
<p>isnt it just .965 x 4...which gives u 3.86...</p>
<p>flong, how can that work? By that logic, someone with straight 98s doesn't have a 4.0 (which they should have, considering that 98s would be all As).</p>
<p>So I am confused, I have a 91 unweighted avg with all AP's/Honors...</p>
<p>But with my schools weighting, i have a 96.5...</p>
<p>So that means my weighted is a 4.0?</p>
<p>Or would colleges see my raw grades which are mostly in the 88-92 range...</p>
<p>That would seem unfair b/c I know many kids who take regular classes (which are easy as hell) and get 90's and my honors and AP's (which are pretty solid/hard classes) which i get high B's low A's would be avg'd the same?</p>
<p>colleges will take courseload into their decision making. If you've got an 93% average with all APs, there's a pretty good chance they'll look at you as more competitive than a kid who has a 96% average with only regular classes.</p>
