explain the weighting scale..

because on the usual weighting scale, it's rather impossible to get over a 4.5 or so. do they not count in gym and electives, and other non-weighted courses? are honors weighted or just AP's?
it's hard to chance with GPA's that you don't understand.

although, i suppose if it's a 4.0 unweighted anyway, you have a good shot everywhere you've said. georgetown might be a stretch.

An extra point (5 point A ) for every honors or AP class. PE and a few electives were the only classes with no extra weight. Basically, 3 years of A's plus A's brought from a few middle school classes.
Thanks.
