Is a 4.89 GPA good?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am finishing up my junior year of high school. My school's grading scale is 7 points and the highest grades get 4.0 for regular, 5.0 for honors, and 6.0 for AP. I have completed 7 AP classes thus far plus numerous honors. I have over 50 college hours of credit already.</p>

<p>Right now, I am ranked 3 in my class of about 120. I want to be a contender for merit scholarships at my state public universities. My SATs 720 Math and 730 Reading. I have a strong resume of local, state, and national ECs.</p>

<p>Is my GPA good compared to others and will being #3 hurt my chances of scholarships?</p>

<p>Sorry, transposed my numbers. I actually have a 4.98 GPA</p>

<p>3/120 indicates that your GPA is good in the context of your school.
But it would be easier to tell if you converted it to unweighted (no difference between honors, AP, and regular classes) on a 4.0 scale.</p>
