<p>Daughter just logged in to find that she has been accepted into 1ST choice Architectural engineering from her school that does not rank with an assigned ranking by UT of top 11%.She had an unweighted GPA of a 4.1 on a 4.0 scale, and had SAT of 2170 with a 740 on the math section. Her math SAT II level 2 was a 770. So, she is quite thrilled.</p>
<p>A simple google search answered my question. From Wikipedia:</p>
<p>The A range is often treated as a special case. In most American schools, a 4.00 is regarded as perfect and the highest GPA one can achieve. Thus, an A, being the prime grade, achieves the mark of a 4.00; for the A+ mark, most schools still assign a value of 4.00, equivalent to the A mark, to prevent deviation from the standard 4.00 GPA system. However, the A+ mark, then, becomes a mark of distinction that has no impact on the student’s GPA. A few schools, however, do assign grade values of 4.33 or 4.30; but the scale is still called “4.0”, because grading scales (or “quality indices”) take their numerical names from the highest whole number.</p>

<p>@ DFWkidd
I was told that by UT senior admission counselor in a brief over the phone conversation. She said it was derived by UT from information provided by my D’s high school and it was accurate.</p>
<p>@DFWkid, what jvandy said is correct. For all non-auto admits, UT follows an admissions rubric involving a student’s calculated Academic Index (AI) and Personal Achievement Index (PAI). Rank is required to derive the AI, so… </p>
<p>“For students from non‐ranking schools, a rank is estimated using the student’s GPA and grade distributions provided by the schools.”</p>
