<p>How do I know which GPA scale my school uses to calculate students' GPA?</p>
<p>I thought mine was by the 4.0 scale; but according to college board (click</a>), my school doesn't do it that way. AP Classes are given an extra point. And even if a class assigns a + or a -, it doesn't affect the point system. So a B- would still be the same 3 as a B+ in a regular class.</p>
<p>A scholarship asks for my GPA and the scale. No idea what to put down.. help please! Thank you!!</p>
<p>Your school has the same scale as mine…</p>
<p>I don’t know what scale you would call. Its not a 5.0 scale because ONLY AP’s get bumped up, not every class.</p>
<p>Is there anyway you can write to them and tell them that your school gives an extra point for AP’s? </p>
<p>Sorry, I couldn’t help. I’ll keep surfing through google though.</p>
<p>Isn’t that extra point “weight”? Don’t they want your “unweighted” score? Does your school not provide you with an unweighted score? (I know some don’t). My D just applied for a scholly where it was hard to tell what to write also - but…don’t you have to provide a transcript? And/or school prospectus? Ask the scholarship people what they want you to put (but don’t let them talk you into 5.0 scale because that’s not right and it will hurt you).</p>
<p>If nothing else, maybe put that you have a 4.5 on a 4.0 scale. That will send them back to your transcript to suss it out. And they’ll see that you’re above scale so it’s weighting, and have to figure it out. ??</p>
<p>They give us an option to provide them a weighted or unweighted GPA. It’s a drop down menu:</p>
<p>GPA: Weighted/Unweighted
GPA:
