<p>I was just wondering how everybody's school does weighted GPA's because at my school I have a 4.00 uw GPA and with A's in seven AP classes i can only get a 4.25 w GPA. I don't know if this is because we have semester block classes or what. I just know i see people claiming like 4.7 w GPA's and I'm not sure how that works.</p>
<p>So if you could please give a quick description on how your school does weighted GPA's it would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>My school does regular GPA first and then adds bonus points.</p>
<p>Like this. A .0488 B .0366 C .0244 D .0122</p>
<p>So if you have 6 AP, 3 As 3 Bs. They will go UW 3.5 W 3.7562</p>
<p>I have a 6.98... It depends on your school district.</p>
<p>school adds 1 for AP/honors classes. With 5/7 aps, the difference in my uw to w is .9-1</p>
<p>My school just treats AP classes as if they are out of five points like A=5, B=4, ect. They then just add those scores back into a four point scale. so if you had two regular classes and one ap and recieved a's in all threeit would work like this...</p>
<p>4+4+5=13 divided by a twelve possibe 13/12= 1.08333 then to 4 point scale 1.08333x4= 4.33</p>
<p>My school has a different weight depending on the class type.</p>
<p>There are L2, L1, Honors, AP</p>
<p>AP gives you a 5.0</p>
<p>Whicheads me to the insight that colleges must worry more about an applicants uw gpa because many schools do it different. Sure they will look at the number of classes taken and their respective difficulties but they can't put much basis on a w gpa since there is so much variation.</p>

</ul>
<p>that's why they can compare class ranks. people are ranked with people in the same GPA scale</p>
<p>All advanced classes are weighted .17, yeah, that's about it...</p>
<p>My school gives a higher percentage of weight to honors. Ie. .7(honor/ap avg) + .3(reg avg) </p>
<p>So if I have a 5.0 honors average and a 4.0 regular it would be 4.7 etc...</p>
<p>Yeah it's different for each school. My school does +1 point for honors and +2 points for AP/IB. So I had a 6.0 last semester.</p>
<p>My school has no weighting system at all. AP/honors classes are taken out of 4 just like any regular class.</p>
<p>At my school, for regular classes there is the regular 4.0 scale (A's worth 4 pts, B's worth 3, C's 2, D's 1, F's 0). Then they figure out the regular unweighted GPA and after they determine that, they add .04 points per semester of an honors class taken, and .08 per semester of an AP class.</p>
<p>Points for an A:</p>
<p>AP/honors = 9.0
Curriculum 1 = 8.0
Curriculum 2 = 7.0</p>
<p>My school doesn't weight, but when I compare my GPA with my friends who attend a school where there is weighting, I just add on an extra point for AP classes.</p>
