<p>In our school the gpa scale is:</p>
<p>-------College Prep(regular)-------Honors-------------AP/IB
100--------4.875------------------5.375--------------5.875
99--------4.750------------------5.250-------------- 5.750</p>
<p>and it get lower every point by 0.125.</p>
<p>and I have high school weighted gpa of 5.0</p>
<p>what is this mean,,,,? Does mean I am genious?(just joking)
Why is college see the gpa 4.0 as highest?</p>
<p>Well, given that you can’t even spell “genius” correctly, I’d have to say no. Just kidding.</p>
<p>thanks, I can’t even edit now on.</p>
<p>4.0 is the highest for an unweighted gpa. your gpa is weighted.</p>
<p>Weighted GPA varies by school. Like mine is 5.6 by my school’s standards, and with all the high level classes I’m taking next year, I could maybe hit 6.0. My girlfriend is already at 6.0, at another school, with a year less classes. Schools, districts, and states have different weighing systems. But the 4.0 unweighted program is fairly universal.</p>
<p>So what is fairly universal gpa standard? like unweighted,</p>
<p>90%-100%—A----4.0
80%-89%----B----3.0
70%-79%----C----2.0
60%-69%----D----1.0
0%-59%-----F----0.0</p>
<p>Then, take all your grades for your classes, convert them into the 0-4 scale, add them all together (counting half credits as only half and such like that), then average them. That’s the most widespread standard for unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, than it means it doesn’t matter whether you get 91 or 100, because it count as same 4.0 Thanks a lot</p>
<p>Not for that scale. But if your school distinguishes between a 91 or 100, then you might not get as high of a class rank (but would still be high if all As). If it doesn’t, you’re good either way.</p>
<p>Not necessarily 90-100, 81-90 etc</p>
<p>Just take all grades, get rid of + or -.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
