| My daughter has a 4.47 (4.0 unweighted). She's took 2 honors classes as a frosh; 3 honors and an AP sophomore year and is taking 3 honors and 2 AP her junior year. Next year her plan is to take 2 AP and no honors.
I think the no of students who can get >4.0 depends on how many AP and honors options a school has. My daughter has taken many, but not all that she could. She hated Chem H, so wasn't about to take Chem AP. Doesn't love history, so no Mod. Eur Hist AP. OTOH, despite not loving history, she's enjoying her US Hist AP class. Since it's req'd for all students she felt the class discussions would be better in an AP secn.
