<p>My school calculates GPAs on a 6.0 scale and does not unweight them. I've gotten A's all throughout high school, with a couple of A+'s. </p>
<p>When i ask people (seniors in my school) what my unweighted GPA is, some say that it's a 4.0 while others say it's a 3.7. Which is it?? </p>
<p>According to collegeboard.com, an A or above is a 4.0, but some tell me that only an A+ is a 4.0, a 3.8 is a high A and a 3.7 is a solid A.</p>
<p>every school and college uses a different system.</p>
<p>Under most systems, it would be an UW 4.0. With added weight for AP and the like.</p>
<p>At my school, which is on the low side for grade inflation:</p>
<p>AP Courses: A+ 5.0, A 4.67, A- 4.33, B+ 4.0, B 3.67, B- 3.33…etc.
Honors: A+ 4.67, A 4.33, A- 4.00, B+ 3.67, etc.
A-level: A+ 4.33, A 4.0, A- 3.67, B+ 3.33
B-level: drop down the A levels by .33
C-level: drop down the B levels by .33</p>
<p>UW GPA is really not so important. GPA, W or UW isn’t as important as your actual grades*– there’s no “magic formula,” though the UCs weight differently (and there’s a calculator available for them!) and UMich gives all As (A+, A, and A-) a 4.0 all Bs (B+, B, B-) a 3.0, and all Cs (C+, C, C-) a 2.0</p>
<p>so on the applications, when it asks for my UW GPA, what should i put?</p>
