how can some people have an unweighted gpa above a 4.0?

<p>how is that even possible?</p>

2

<p>whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…weird</p>

3

<p>some schools take an A+ as a 4.3, even unweighted. That’s how my school does it.</p>

<p>for those whose school doesn’t do that, how does it work? Is an A- a 3.7, or is still a 4.0?</p>

4

<p>bs… our school has A- as 3.66 but A+=A=4.00</p>

5

<p>My school has an A+ as a 4.5 unweighted.</p>

6

<p>Some schools will do A-=3.7, A=4.0, A+=4.3</p>

<p>Some schools - and many colleges - put a cap at 4.0, A-=3.7, A=4.0, A+=4.0</p>

7

<p>At my son’s HS pluses and minuses aren’t counted for UW GPA. A+, A, A- are all 4, B+, B, B- are all 3 etc. My son’s school doesn’t weight in any manner either.</p>

8

<p>My school does A+ as a 4.4, A as a 4.0, A- as a 3.7, etc.</p>

9

<p>At my school they don’t even calculate GPAs. We just get our average out of 100.</p>

10

<p>As has been said, some schools consider an A+ a 4.33.</p>

<p>I do, but that is because my school = dumb. :P</p>
