<p>Does your high school "weight" AP or Honors classes? My school does and therefore an A in a weighted class is a 5.0 instead of a 4.0 and a B is a 4.0 and so on.</p>
<p>Well, my school gives 1.1 multiplier to honors classes/AP (Like, Honors English-if you get a 95, it's 95 + 9.5 = 105) This is a blessing and a curse-a blessing because it guarantees the #1 student takes honors/AP. On the other hand, the differences in point get so crazy that, even if you have one bad semester (and in "bad" I mean 87ish), you could probably not even round out the top 10%. </p>
<p>There have been tons of topics on this, btw...if you search</p>
<p>They weight it numerically, as in adding 5 points to AP grades and 3 points to honors classes.</p>
<p>I'm really glad my school doesn't weight numerically :D</p>
<p>I'm not sure how much my school weights honors classes, but as a freshman with straight A's in 3 quarters with all my core classes being honors, I have a weighted GPA of 4.44</p>
