<p>Post your school's top ten GPA on a 100 scale..like 1-99 2-98 3-97 ...and so on..........</p>
<p>Well, at my school the top ten people's GPA are literally .0001 away from each other. Pretty intense.</p>
<p>we don't use the 100 point scale, so I don't know what they'd be..like legend's, ours our insanely close</p>
<p>my valedictorian was 98.6 or something, and the salutatorian was like .000001 away from her
dont know others</p>
<p>I wish our top 10 was based on the 100 point scale and not the GPA. Because there are always a handful of kids who make A's in all the toughest classes, the only way to beat out other people is to get sneaky about taking extra night language classes at the community college (for an extra .5) instead of taking unweighted elective requirements like foreign language at the school. When people have to secretly take extra classes to circumvent the artificial ceiling, they need a different policy.</p>
<p>Haha Hamster... "get sneaky about taking extra night language classes" :)</p>
<p>Hamster it's the same thing at my school! Online classes, too! </p>
<p>60/300 kids last year had weighted GPA's above 4.0
Average SAT: 1018.</p>
<p>The highest GPA anyone ever had at my school was a 6.8 on a 7-point scale. He's at MIT now.</p>
<p>(I have about a 6.3, which is enough to land me firmly in "First Honors"--the closest we get to ranks. My school is crazy grade deflated.)</p>
<p>I think my class rank changed again after the final exams... seriously, its so close that you never know if you just got moved up or bumped down.</p>
<p>They eliminated class rank a couple years ago at my school, after the Valedictorean was a snob and basically said, "I'm better than you because I am number 1 and you're not" in his speech.</p>
<p>ours are so close together that it really comes down to the wire when the school year is almost over. since everyone in the top 10 has almost the exact same GPA, #5 can score a couple points better on one test, and bam, he's giving a speech at graduation..my school is pretty easy, and has a lot of grade inflation...</p>
<p>That's pretty intense, peck191.</p>
<p>Valedictorian = 5.3
Me (8/74) = 4.7
10 = 4.3</p>
<p>I guess I will post my comment here, too, as there may be different readers.
It seems that everyone at my school has a 4.0 and nobody cares about school. (Okay, that first part may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I really hate my school sometimes.) I have about a 3.6 and am not even in the top third of my class. The problem is that some people coast by with classes like Fashion, Foods, and You and Animal Production, classes where grades are based primarily, if not exclusively, on class participation. This means there are no or almost no assignments or tests. I am very thankful that I do not attend a cutthroat school where I could not take the classes I wanted simply because they were not weighted, but sometimes I get really tired of going to school with such losers!</p>
<p>ShadowOfAnEnigma, that's unfortunate. But hey, think of it this way: at least you're working to your fullest potential without getting away by being lazy and take such easy courses! :)</p>
<p>I know someone who is ranked around #15 and has a GPA of 4.0.</p>
<p>1: 4.4
2: 4.1
3: 3.99
4: 3.98
then it kinda collapses...yeah, my school isn't academically competitive...</p>
<p>On a 5.0 GPA Scale:</p>
<p>1: 4.54
2: 4.45
3: 4.32
4: 3.99
5: 3.97
6: 3.89
7: 3.86
8: 3.75
9: 3.71
10:3.68</p>
<p>Thanks for the support; I just have to vent sometimes. It gets so frustrating! The worst part about it is that colleges will have no way of knowing that other people are taking super-easy course loads and that I am taking the most difficult classes available. How are they to know that everyone gets an A in New Product Development, but Historical Turning Points is a very challenging class? Also, I will be forced to take some slough classes my senior year due to the fact that I have already taken almost all the classes my school offers that are not insanely easy or geared toward a specific trade (i.e. Ag Welding or Dairy Science.) Geeze, this has turned into another vent! I guess I will post it anyway, though. Thanks for listening.</p>
<p>on a 5.0 scale (5 for AP A, 4.5 for honors A, 4 for normal A), something like...
1. 4.50
2. 4.49
3. 4.49</p>
<p>They all got straight A's in the hardest classes, but one of them took a study hall for one semester and not a pre-AP comp sci class (then self studied over the summer). He totally screwed them over and never told them (they all thought they were tied for first). When the other two found out a few weeks ago they were devastated.</p>
<p>Then the rest is really close. I have 4.22 and I think I'm somewhere around 25th, so that shows how close the rest is. My school is insane...</p>
<p>lol - only CCers would know what the top ten GPAs at their school were for this past year, out to two decimal places!! hahaha</p>
