Recalculating the Weighted GPA

Applying to College
1

<p>So I know most schools use the 5.0 scale for the weighted GPA so I decided to recalculate from my school's weighted system and I have a few questions:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is 4.22 out of 5 bad, good, or average? (Compare to Ivy Standards, NU, Vandy, NYU, BC, Mich, Chicago, Wash U)</p></li>
<li><p>Do I consider Gym, Health, and Consumer Education into account? These are just graduation and state requirements.</p></li>
<li><p>If my school doesn't use the +/- system (ex: 3.7/3.3)should I or should I not use it when I calculate? (My school is directly 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, etc)</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Most schools dont use the weighted GPA strictly. They usually understand the difficulty of your courseload and factor it in. Academic classes are counted. If your school doesnt use +/- then its just 4 pts, 3 pts, 2 pts. etc</p>
