<p>We have only honors options (all college courses are weighted as honors, too) and regular courses.</p>
<p>Standard:
A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1</p>
<p>Honors:
A - 5
B - 4
Below a B-, you must drop an honors course, so C is 2 with an "Honors withdrawn" symbol. Ouch!!!</p>
<p>Oh, yeah and my school is stupid enough to put the maximum down as 5, but I'm going to recalculate it factoring in the honors course limits and required courses without honors options :)</p>
<p>does anyone know if the grades on the college section of collegeboard are weighted or unweighted? i mean this thing: </p>

* 2% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99
<p>APs deserve weights. Honors classes DONT deserve weights. The person with the highest class rank should NEVER be past 4.3. If they go any higher, than something is wrong.</p>
<p>ours is on a 6.25 scale.<br>
Honors/AP
A+-6.25
A-6
B-5
C-4
D-3</p>
<p>"Academic" regular classes
A-5
B-4
C-3
D-2</p>
<p>General (sped level)
A-4
B-3
C-2
D-1</p>
<p>to convert to 4.0 scale they multiply by 0.666666. however, there's no possible way to get more than a 5.5ish with all the academic level electives we have to take... =/</p>
<p>Then they weight by multiplying the number of quarters of AP classes by .0125 and adding the product to the cumulative GPA.</p>
<p>So, for example, if a student took 11 AP classes over 4 years and got all "A"s in all of their classes, their cumulative GPAs would be 4.0 unweighted and 4.55 weighted.</p>
<p>GPAs using this method are generally similar to those under the "add a point for AP" method, but with a significant statistical difference: A student who takes an equal number of APs as his peers and also takes a greater number of non-AP classes is not penalized by GPA dilution under this system.</p>
<p>From what I have heard and read it doesn't really matter what/who/how your specific school weight your GPA because the college admissions people recalculate your GPA to their standards so everyone is coming in more or less at the same starting point.....so to speak.</p>
<p>Agree with Tarheel, I do not think that colleges pay much attention to weighted, they take UW. They also consider what school you are coming from. If school does not rank, they still determine rank based on school senior class profile.</p>
