<p>93-100 = A and so on.</p>
<p>NO weighting for honors or AP, no class rank, no "real" gpa. We get numbers like "3.7" just for application purposes - everything else is out of 100.</p>
<p>Do must schools unweight weighted grades or do they weigh unweighted grades?</p>
<p>Also, 93-100 is an A at my school, but for some it's 90-100; how do colleges look at that?</p>
<p>A+ (97-100)= 4.67 (5.67 honors and 6.67 AP)
A (93-96)= 4.37 (5.33 honors and 6.33 AP)
A- (90-92)=4.0 (5.0 honors and 6.0 AP)
B+ (87-89)= 3.67 (4.67 honors and 5.67 AP)
B (83-86)= 3.33 (4.33 honors and 5.33 AP)
B- (80-83)=3.0 (4.0 honors and 5.0 AP)
C+ (77-79)=2.67 (3.67 honors and 4.67 AP)
C (73-76)= 2.33 (3.33 honors and 4.33 AP)
C- (70-72)= 2.0 (3.0 honors and 4.0 AP)</p>
<p>You get the pattern after that. I actually believe that adding a full point to honors and another full point to AP at my school is reasonable because of how intense they make the classes there. I actually talked to my cousin once who used to work for an admissions office while attending a state school, where she learned that the regular courses at my school are looked at as the equivalent of honors courses at a public school. I dunno, I just think that's interesting.</p>
<p>Our school doesn't weight. AP Physics C is given the same weight as Freshman PE.</p>
<p>For all classes:
A +/- = 4
B +/- = 3
C +/- = 2
D +/- = 1</p>
<p>Some teachers give A+, some don't.</p>
<p>Normal:
A/A+ (98-100)
A (93-98)
A- (90-93)
B+ (87-90)
B (83-87)
B- (80-83)
C+ (77-80)
C (73-77)
C- (70-73)
D+ (67-70)
D (63-67)
D- (60-63)
F (60-)</p>
<p>AP/Honors History Classes:
A (92-100)
B+ (87-92)
B (83-87)
C+ (77-82)
And so on.</p>
<p>AP Physics B/C Classes:
A+ (90-100)
A (80-90)
A- (70-80)
B+ (67-70)
B (63-67)
B- (60-63)
C+ (57-60)
C (53-57)
C- (50-53)
And so on.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry:
A (80-100)
B (70-80)
C (60-70)
And so on.</p>
<p>OP's new one makes more sense.</p>
<p>our school now gives us 1-7.</p>
<p>I go to a small Catholic High School. We have only a handful of weighted classes (Spanish III, Advanced Math/Trigonometry, Physics, Calculus, College Biology through local State U, and Shakespeare-by the time I graduate, I will have taken them all). No AP or honors. Weighted classes add 0.5. +/- does not matter. If you took the minimum number of classes each year, the highest you could graduate with is a 4.11. The grading scale is as follows:</p>
<p>A=93-100
B=85-92
C=77-84
D=70-77
F=69 and below</p>
<p>The thing is that our classes are incredibly easy. The teachers spoon feed everything. Our average GPA is probably a 3.2 or 3.3.</p>
<p>dvm258: I didn't even know it was possible to have a GPA over 5, or 6 for that matter, haha.</p>
<p>That is strange. Here, we're marked out of 100, and getting above...I'd say a 98 (very rare) is impossible.</p>
<p>A: 80-100%
B: 70-79%
C: 60-69%
D: 50-59%
Fail: 49% or lower</p>
<p>My 90% GPA put me in the top 5% (10/182). The 9 above me were only by a there small fractions or one percent.</p>
<p>A-/+ = 4
B -/+ = 3
C -/+ = 2
D -/+ = 1
F = 0</p>
<p>No weight for honors (I think it should be .5, but its not) and 1 point for AP except for D which is still worth 1 and F which is still worth 0. Most teachers use the 90, 80, 70, 60, but most of my honors teachers usually lower it because my school doesn't weight honors courses.</p>
<p>In my dreamy little fantasy world, colleges would calculate GPA scores themselves, not high schools. :)</p>
<p>This is our scale...</p>
<p>A-/+ = 4
B -/+ = 3
C -/+ = 2
D -/+ = 1
F = 0</p>
<p>but challenge classes, pre-IB classes, AP classes, and IB classes are weighted.</p>
<p>Haha. A lot of Ivy students at my school have GPAs over 5.0 because of the AP classes.</p>
<p>Mine is almost exactly like Flare's in post #3, except there is no A+ range and nothing is weighted, though no honors or AP are offered. Therefore, an A in Concert Choir is worth the same as an A in Calculus. GPA goes by the traditional method.</p>
<p>oops just looked at mine again in post 3, F is 64 and below lol</p>
<p>A+ 4.33
A 4
A- 3.66
B+ 3.33</p>
<p>and so on, subtracting .33 for every change in grade
weighted it goes by level, for APs/Honors it's +2</p>
<p>The differences here are crazy. There is almost no one with the same grading scale…which means if we all applied to the same colleges our GPA’s would be incomparable. Our school doesn’t offer Honors courses and we only add 0.5 to each AP course (by the way, it is VERY common for AP class students not to take the exam at my school because the teachers suck and kids know they will only get a 1 or 2).</p>
<p>A+ = 99-100% = 4.33
A = 96-98% = 4.00
A- = 93-95% = 3.67
B+ = 91-92% = 3.33
B = 88-90% = 3.00
B- = 85-87% = 2.67
C+ = 83-84% = 2.33
C = 79-82% = 2.00
C- = 75-78% = 1.67
F = 0-74% = 0.00</p>
<p>I go to a public high school in southern Maine. Our school discourages competition, and although we have official class ranks, it’s super private and secretive. It’s wicked annoying. I am 5/244 with a 3.916 GPA. #1 in my class only has a 4.063…so because of the toughness of the grading scale it’s clearly impossible to get as high of a GPA as many people at other schools say they have. Only a handful of kids in my school’s history have ever gotten above a 4.1. Even though technically a 99% or 100% is supposed to be an A+, most teachers disagree and give you an A when you get a 100% on a test.</p>
<p>Additionally, we have a computerized program that calculates our GPAs once teachers submit their grades and it is ALWAYS inaccurate. Last summer I saw mine and thought it seem kind of low (listed as a 3.79) so I recalculated it on my own and got a 3.87. I had to meet with the guidance director to have it corrected. She acted like it was no big deal, even though graduated students had probably applied to college with miscalculated GPAs. It’s a huge mess. I totally wish I went to a place where things were easier and more weighted, because we really deserve it based on the difficulty level. Only 2 out of 17 students in my AP Calculus AB class got A’s last semester.</p>
<p>depends on the class.
some are 90%+ =A
some are 80%+ =A
-, + don’t count in GPA.
A = 4.0 AP classes: 5.0
B = 3.0 4.0
C = 2.0 3.0
D = 1.0 2.0</p>
<p>I agree! The system needs to be standardized. My school weights Honors/AP/College level as +1. The universities need to either just look at basic grades (A,B,C,etc.) and class load or standardize the system for all schools (public and private). This is ridiculous!</p>
<p>100 - 4.33 (A+)
92-99 - 4.0 (A)
90-91 - 3.8 (A-)
88-89 - 3.3 (B+)
82-87 - 3.0 (B)
And so on…</p>
<p>honors/AP - A - 5
regular - A - 4
honors/AP - B - 4
regular - B - 3</p>
<p>so on…
QUESTION 
…how do colleges see these scores? they take out gym and electives i believe. but would they take out my school’s weighting system, as well? if so, then i’m scr*wedddd. :'(</p>
<p>Almost all of mine are 90-100 A, etc… (a=5 b=4 c=3)</p>
<p>However my Honors Physics/Chem are 80-100=A, 65-80=B</p>
<p>A: 93-100
B: 85-92
C: 77-84
D: 70-76</p>
<p>My school doesn’t really do the 4.0 thing. Maybe they do, but they don’t tell us what ours is. Honors are weighted +5, AP +8 which is reasonable because the standards are so high, and classes are hard.</p>
