Is Cornell GPA out of 4.3 or 4.0?

<p>I always assumed it's out of 4.0, since not every professor gives out a 4.3 (I consider it a bonus). But then I was talking to someone in career services, and they said technically it's out of a 4.3.</p>

<p>***? All the jobs I've been applying to, I put my GPA as XX/4.0.</p>

<p>Btw, I just looked at some sample resumes from Career Services (old Cornell resumes). Some of them are listed as XX/4.0</p>

<p>Now I’m even more confused.</p>

<p>If you have any A+'s then just recalculate your GPA replacing that class with a 4.0 instead. Or just don’t even put what your GPA is out of</p>

<p>Yeah, I’d have to agree with the majority and say just put your GPA on your CV as like the number [ex. 3.55] and don’t put like 3.55/4.00. </p>

<p>Some teachers have the possibility of earning A+s and some don’t, so you would never call your GPA a 4.3. But, what some grad schools may end up making you do is recalculate your GPA and all of your A+s will only count as 4.0.</p>
