<p>honestly I think the UW scale work best because each school uses different W scales. Making other colleges and people from other schools a little lost.</p>

Ha, I had that in elementary school. In fact, I currently have a “conduct grade” that uses the same scale! All the teachers are too lazy to change that grade, so everyone gets "S"s. Luckily, it doesn’t count for GPA.</p>
<p>At my high school an A in a regular class counted as a 4 and an A in an AP class counted as a 5. A student who got an A- or an A+ would still get a 4 for the class, so pluses and minuses didn’t mean much except for when colleges looked at the transcript. </p>
<p>My UW GPA was a 3.1 and my weighted was a 3.45
Yea I was lazy.</p>
<p>@Descuff I hate the unweighted scale, but what I hate even more is that you’re completely right; it’s the most fair system because schools weight classes differently. I just wish there was a national GPA system… that way my honors/AP courses would help me out, instead of hurting my GPA.</p>
<p>3.8 uw
4.5 w</p>
<p>Do colleges acutally look closely at your transript grades? I do have a 4.0 unweighted GPA, but thats because I aced my exams and brought 2 or three b’s to A’s. Every semester in AP Human geography I got a 92% (a B), but in the end I got an A… next year I’ll be less careless about my quarter grades but I figured colleges only looked at GPAs (weighted/unweighted), and course rigor (amount of APs, or if you took ‘easy’ classes). :\ I hope a few b’s wont botch my chances at colleges like Stanford or Princeton (man that sounds so weird. I hope a B wont ruin my chances for getting into college… haha) .</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>I can’t even fill out my Common App because I don’t know what my class weighting is in relation to what the Common App is asking for.</p>
<p>My school has a pretty standard scale.</p>
<p>A in a regular class = 4 points
A in an honors class = 4.5 points
A in an AP class = 6 points</p>
<p>There are some scales I’ve seen on CC and on this thread that just look like a nightmare.</p>
<p>Scale:
4.0 Regular
5.0 Honors/APs</p>
<p>My GPA (freshman year)
4.0 UW
4.7 W</p>
<p>Scale:
A - Regular = 4.0
A - Honors = 4.5
A - AP = 5.0</p>
<p>My GPA (Sophomore year):
4.0 UW
4.4 W</p>
<p>UW 3.4
W 3.8
Ha fmllll. Time to fix it. Yay jr year…</p>
<p>…how do you get a B in gym??</p>
<p>4.0 they don’t put weighted GPA’s on our report cards. My weighting system only gives you a five if you get an A in an AP class. Honors an A is still a 4.</p>
<p>3.4 uw, 4.13 w
5 pts for AP/Honors (i took 3 honors, 3 APs)
4.0 scale</p>
<p>The scale at my school. </p>
<p>IB and AP: 5.5
PreAP/IS/Dual Credit: 5.0
Advanced Courses/Honors/Global High: 4.5
Regular: 4.0
Modified: 3.0</p>
<p>UW=3.5
W=4.2/5.0</p>
<p>3.8 uw </p>
<p>I was an idjit during frosh and soph.</p>
<p>3.45 uw gpa freshman year. I had never gotten below a 3.85 before last year so this grade is really depressing.</p>
<p>Scale:
A:4
B:3
C:2
D:1
F:0</p>
<p>Broke past the 3.8 barrier twice for the first time finally to get all A’s, hopefully i can keep it Junior year! </p>
