Certain classes are ranked much higher than others. All of your AP classes have A as 5.0 |
|
Seriously?! :O |
|
Yes, that's how you can get a QPA higher than 4.0 |
|
I didn't know that. |
|
Ok so then my GPA should be a 3.0... |
|

A 3.0 is a B average. |

Exactly. My grades from the year are CAABABB. Then there are those two highschool credit courses. From what I have been told, I made a 65 in Latin. I don't know what I made in that other course, but I thought I had done well... I'm missing something here, I know I am. I gotta figure it out. |

You have a weighted (has the AP/Honors boost) and unweighted (does not) GPA. I think the highest you can get (at least in my school) is 4.9 weighted. The highest for unweighted, then, is 4.0. I think they see how many honors or AP classes you took and that is formulated into a number that is multiplied by your unweighted. I'm am pretty sure that is how it works after looking at my transcript. |

When I was in school, 4.0 was absolutely perfect. There were no classes where you could score over 4.0. Getting a 4.0 GPA meant you did the best you could possibly do. Introducing a higher possible number means that old fogies like me can't fairly compare our scores with today's students. |

To get it away from me. I showed him all of the ways you can kill someone. I think it was the sniper headshot that got him. You know, in the old ones where the person would run around, headless, with blood shooting out of their necks? I actually found it years later in some file. |

My high school doesn't even do gpa on that scale. We just go up to 100 and go by you're actual grade of each class. Advanced classes are then multiplied by 1.1 and AP level are 1.15 so if you get a 100 in an AP class it would be like getting a 115. I have no clue why we do it that way but it's at least easier to see where you're at than trying to figure out the 4 point scale. |

It's complicated. Seems a bit unnecessary to me, but so long as I get something acceptable I guess it doesn't matter. |

Most colleges do not do this GPA weighing. Taking Calc5 will effect your GPA the same a Psychology 101. I understand why the HS level does it though. You no longer compete against the entire school in college. |
