<p>Thanks! And Edit: my weighted GPA is 4.05, not 3.85</p>

<p>Is your 4.05 weighted GPA out of 5? Wouldn’t a 3.85 unweighted GPA mean that you have mostly A’s? Since you have a rigorous schedule, wouldn’t your weighted GPA be a lot closer to 5? Sorry if I sound rude, I am not trying to be, but I’m just wondering.</p>

<p>Haha don’t worry, it’s not rude. No, it’s not out of 5, it’s out of 4. However, we add an extra point for an AP class. So I’ve gotten an A in an AP class, so it’s worth 5 points, so it averages out, but it still is mostly A’s</p>

<p>Oh I’ve always thought that weighted is out of 5 and unweighted is out 4, but I guess not. You also have a good shot at all of those colleges.</p>
