<p>is my school crazy or somethin</p>
<p>i go to a very competitive california public school
and to be in the top 50%, you need like at least a 3.3w</p>
<p>and im pretty sure its not that our grades are inflated because we send tons of grads off to top schools every year. we usually have at least 15% going o top publics and privates.</p>
<p>what would a 3.3 place u in at ur schools</p>
<p>i don't think so at all. I think at my high school 80 was the lowest you could get and still get a B. I don't think that many kids had GPA's between 75-80 (below 75 was failing).</p>
<p>at my public school top 5% was about a 4.1w, top 10% 3.9w, top 25% 3.6w top 50% was probably right around 3.0w.</p>
<p>No, your school is the standard over competitive public in California stocked full with Asians and Whites. A 3.3 weighted GPA would put you at around rank 70 out of 500ish at our school.</p>
<p>4.0 weighed would probably be um about 35-40th percentile. 3.3 weighted would be probably 55th percentile. Top 1 percentile would be 6.2 weighted or up.</p>
<p>Out of 4.0? How is that possible! Are APs weighted as 7.0?</p>
<p>Dude you need a 3.5+ (UW) to be in the Top 10% (Around 500 kids) at my school.</p>
<p>I have no clue what 50% is but I'm only ranked in the top 33% with a 4.5 w gpa. That's out of a possible 5.12 w gpa.</p>
<p>oic at my school a 4.83 is the highest.</p>
<p>my school is the best in the county and i think its because the teachers are tough, but the highest WEIGHTED gpa is a 4.06... which is low for CC standards... its really hard to get above a 4.0 W</p>
<p>Haha best in the country? Sure buddy...what school?</p>
<p>He said best in the county, not country. Large difference.</p>
<p>Hahaha. best in the countRy...</p>
<p>Ahh that explains my poor Critical Reading score</p>
<p>No worries, I thought he said country, too, until I read it again after reading your post.</p>
<p>I didn't do as well on CR, either.</p>
<p>3.3 in my school? Depends, as we rank in tiers. If it's the top tier, that's put you... Top ten.</p>
<p>At my school, getting a 4.7+ (W) will put you in the top 10%. However, unweighted needs to be fairly high, too, to prevent inflation (3.7+ UW). I think the highest GPA is usually around 5.2/5.3+. It's really competitive.</p>
<p>Wow, my school is extreme compared to some of the others here..</p>
<p>at my private, no one has ever gotten a 4.0 (no weighted GPAs), and to be in the top 50% you need a 3.5 at least. it's not so much grade inflation or deflation as it is an extremely tight bell curve. like 6 kids per grade have below a 3 (classes of 80-90ish).</p>
<p>Out of my class of about 150, the highest GPA is about 4.4 or more on a 4.33 scale...3.3 would be at the low end, lower 30% I'd say...I go to a pretty competitive private school, average ACT is like 26 or something..</p>
<p>well i go to langley (fairfax county public schools)... lots of rich kids who can afford pricate tutors/ sat prep</p>
<p>id prob be poor in relation to those ppl with elevators in their houses! but im not complaining =)</p>
