<p>Sorry, I know this is dumb.</p>
<p>An A is a 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is 1.0.</p>
<p>Do classes grade using A's, or A+, A-, B+, B-, etc.</p>
<p>So if a student has a class average of say 91, do they get an A, and a 4.0, or an A-, and a 3.5?</p>
<p>If 90 is an A, on a transcript is getting a 90 the same as getting a 100? 4.0?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you mean high school grades, because then the UW gpa will be the same as say someone who has straight 100s, but the weighted GPA will be significantly lower. At Johns Hopkins (as in your college grades), I believe that they consider 90-95? A- and it’s a 3.7, so a 100 would be a 4.0. If your s/d is applying to med school, they recalculate your GPA and a 90 is a 4.0 just as a 100 is a 4.0. The Johns Hopkins weighting may not be exactly right (just taking info from their website that I read a month ago) but they have some sort of scale as such.</p>
