4

<p>Your GPA is 4.34 and you're concerned about your grades?!</p>

5

<p>I guess that I'm more worried about my class rank. I go to a school where the valedictorian has a 5.5 GPA, which is a little daunting.</p>

6

<p>5.5? what is it out of?</p>

<p>ours is only out of a 4.0.....our valedictorian has a 4.3something and thats the highest GPA that anyone has ever had at my school...
how are ap/ib classes weighted at your school?</p>

7

<p>The regular classes are on 4.0 scale, honors are on a 5.0 scale, and AP and IB (most students take at least 10) are on a 6.0 scale.</p>

8

<p>Oh... that's unusual, then. I guess I have no way of judging what a 4.34 is, then.</p>

9

<p>6.0!!! that's soooo high.....ap/ib are 4.8 at my school and honors are 4.4......</p>
