<p>Hey guys, sorry I really don't know anything about weighted/unweighted GPAs because my school doesn't weight. We have a 4.0 scale. As long as you can keep a 90 or above in every class, you have a 4.0 GPA. (If you get anything less than a 90 in one class, it drops your GPA.) Our school doesn't offer Honors classes but the academics are hard. There are AP classes, two of which I just completed junior year (A+ in both).</p>
<p>I ended up getting a 92.2 in Precalculus and kept my 4.0. But I read on the college board that 90-92 is a 3.7. Does that mean the one class that I got a 92.2 in dropped my GPA? I know my transcript will say 4.0 UW but will colleges recalculate that?</p>
<p>Thanks for reading!</p>
<p>I think your school goes by the point system where 90-100 is and A, but my school goes by 93-100 being an A and 92-85 is a B. Some schools may recalculate. Some may not care</p>
<p>What will actually be shown on your transcript? At my school they just put the letter grade and not the percentage. So it might be that your transcript just says A, and colleges won’t know whether it was a 90 or a 99. </p>
<p>In any case, selective colleges won’t usually take your GPA at face value. They’ll either recalculate your GPA by their own standards (using whatever information they can get from your transcript), or they’ll just look over your transcript to see what kind of grades you got and how challenging your classes were relative to what your school offered.</p>
<p>For anyone else looking at the College Board’s grading scale, remember that it refers to grades in individual classes and not your overall GPA. If your school uses a non-4.0 scale, you can’t convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale without taking into account all your individual grades. </p>
