<p>is it possible to get a gpa higher than a 4.0 in college?</p>
<p>If the system allows for a higher grade points.</p>
<p>some do, some don't, i thought most didn't, but I could be mistaken, I believe getting an A+ is the only way, if the school allows it</p>
<p>yes it is, my sister graduated from cornell with a 4.1 gpa</p>
<p>isn't that then standardized for grad school?</p>
<p>most colleges grade on a 4 point scale... either giving 4,3,2,1 or like 4,3.66,3.33, etc... my college gives 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, .5, 0</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible if the school awards grades of A+. Some Ivies do this, like Princeton and Cornell.</p>
<p>Not possible at WM... hard enough to get the 4.0</p>
<p>c/o 2004, ~.0014% (2/~1400) of the students had a 4.0
o_O</p>
<p>my school, Bryn Mawr, gives 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, etc. So unless you get a 4 you get a 3.7. there are no 3.5s or any of that ... kind of crazy.</p>
<p>and yes I have heard about WM being crazy like that, soccerguy. better than grade inflation, in my opinion...</p>
<p>Princeton doesn't have A+s in the traditional sense. An A+ is counted the same exact way as an A, as a 4.0</p>
<p>At mine you can get A+'s but apparently you still can't get above a 4.0</p>
<p>wpi has a separte grade curve built for you. you cant fail, its impossible. the lowest you can earn on a test is a 0% but the lowest you can earn is a 70%. </p>

<li>pretty sure i heard this at their seminar</li>
</ul>
<p>A Harvard grad got a 15.0</p>
<p>how is that possible posion ivy?</p>
<p>At most schools at A+=A in terms of gpa. I kind of like it better, because you can't even out an A- with an A+</p>
<p>At American U, there is no A+... and the grading scale is 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, etc... with A's being 95%+, a high gpa really means something here!</p>
<p>Yeah, it's 95+ to get a 4.0 here too. you need like a 88 for a 3.5, a 83 for a 3.0.. i forget the rest...</p>
