<p>be sure to say whether it's weighted or unweighted, what GPA does it take to get into the top 10% at your school? At mine top 10% is about 3.5UW with at least half honors/AP courses. That seems low to me.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what GPA makes it into the top 10 percent of my HS class (but I’m sure its like 3.7UW, 4.25 W ish). Last year’s senior class of 2011 had the top 10 GPAs of the school. I think the valedvictorians (all 10) had like a 4.0 UW/4.79W. I go to a competitive public school.</p>
<p>Not in school. My GPA is 3.7UW and my class rank is only 91 out of 379.</p>
<p>My school isn’t even competitive, its just such a small class size with smart students that actually care.</p>
<p>Wow, you can tell how crappy my school is lol!
I have a 3.5UW, & 5.4W/6.0.
& I’m number 3 in the class. >.></p>
<p>I estimate (no official data is released) that you need around a 4.5-4.6+ out of 5.0 (honors and AP classes are weighted +1.0) to be in the top ten percent of class.</p>
<p>probably around 3.6</p>
<p>My school does class rank by weight, so it’s hard to estimate the UW.</p>
<p>Probably 3.85 UW, and 4.2 weighted</p>
<p>Mine’s probably 3.9 UW and 4.5 W. It really stinks, because what rank you are all depends on what you’ve taken, and whether they’re 4.0 or 5.0 classes.</p>
<p>it’s impossible to know- it depends on the gpa of the other people in your class. obviously, if you class is full of geniuses, you’re gonna need a higher gpa. likewise, if your class if full of idiotic jocks, you’re not gonna need as high a gpa</p>
<p>What is 90 People in your class are geniuses and the rest are jocks? :)</p>
<p>We only do weighted w/ our ranks. My friend is ranked… 5? And she has a 4.14 W. So she’s top 3%.</p>
<p>We only weight APs. If we weighted honors, I’d be rolling. It’s not fair that people who take straight regular classes and gets As for doing almost nothing can get a 4.0, and I have taken honors and APs and be at a ~3.86 W.</p>
<p>Honor classes are a joke at my school. >50% of the people take them.</p>
<p>Weighted 4.77. In Texas you now need to be top 8% for a guaranteed admit to state schools. Class of 797 students graduating in 2011.</p>
<p>We go by weighted and I think the cutoff was like 4.7 or 4.8 out of a practical maximum of around 5.5 (my friends and I calculated this maximum once). In other words a B/B+ average in the toughest curriculum.</p>
<p>-3.50 would do it for me… I think I’m wasting my time doing better than that.</p>
<p>UW: ~3.3
W: ~3.7</p>
<p>How I compare (Rank #1 btw)
UW: 4.0
W: 4.67</p>
<p>Shatty school indeed.</p>
<p>For us it’s like W: 4.55</p>
<p>We get +1.0 for Honors and AP Classes.</p>
<p>Eh… I rank in the top 1% with about a 3.9 UW and a 4.2 W</p>
<p>top 10% is about the first 68 people… so I’d say as low as 3.7</p>
<p>About 90% I would think here. Class of 779, best school in Western Canada.</p>
<p>Well, at my old high school, I had a 3.723 and was 10.01%, so I guess anything higher than that. lmaoooo</p>
