<p>My school does GPAs out of a 4.5 scale--i.e., A+ yields 4.5, A is 4.0, B+ is 3.5, and so on. I know that most schools calculate GPAs out of a 4.0 scale, and this is the way that most colleges will evaluate you. Is the 4.0 scale calculated with 4.0 as an A, or with 4.0 as an A+?</p>
<p>My GPA is a 4.3 unweighted. Would this translate to a 4.0 at another school or something below (since I did not get straight A+s)?</p>
<p>At most public schools, 4.0 represents an A, 3.0 represents a B, and so on so forth. Sometimes pluses and minuses could be factored in so that a 4.0 is an A+, 3.7 is an A, 3.3 is an A-, etc.</p>
<p>Your unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale is in the range of 3.7 to 3.9, depending on how many B’s you got in your classes.</p>
<p>Here’s how you convert:
All your A+'s are now A’s. Sorry.
A=4.0, A-=3.666, B+=3.3333, B=3.0, etc.</p>
<p>OK so if I have straight A’s throughout high school (we don’t do A-'s), I have a 4.0?</p>
