<p>I had a 3.999 out of 4.33 GPA in freshman year, and it looks to be similar this year. I don't start APs 'til next year so these are unweighted. At my school, 93 is 4.0, 100 is 4.33. </p>
<p>So, my question is, is my 3.999 less valuable than one from a 4.0 school?</p>
<p>Technically, yes, but it isn't anything to be disappointed about.</p>
<p>What Skylarsky said.</p>
<p>But it won't matter either way because colleges recalculate due to discrepances in scale.</p>
<p>How do you get a 100? 0-o?</p>
<p>It's different at my school as well, but it's disappointing because some teachers don't believe in giving out anything over 4, because "4 is a perfect score." So technically, it's impossible to have a perfect GPA at my school.</p>
<p>09xoxo, sux to be you :(</p>
<p>our school is pretty competitive-- so much so that a 4.0 is above a 96%... and I manage to get all my classes except the aps above that mark... honors during senior year in my school are weighted 1.2, until then only 1.1</p>
<p>valedictorian usually only has about a 4.0 weighted (with a mid-1500 SAT), which is pretty much proof that the grading system is fair...</p>
