<p>Using some online things I’m getting like 3.8-3.9</p>

<p>I got a bunch of B’s, but high A’s in a few classes to make up for it. I am going to be valedictorian, and no one is even close (private school, 50 kids, 100% college bound). Is this good?</p>

<p>93/100 = x/4 => 100x = 372 => 3.72</p>

<p>^Hmmmm…I don’t think it works like that. </p>

<p>Yale will look at your grades in the context of your school.</p>

<p>If Giby’s way was correct, that would be incredibly unfair. At my school an A- (90/100) was a 4.0. It’s all evaluated in context</p>

<p>The majority of schools have 93+ as a 4.0 unweighted.</p>

<p>^ Are there two different GPA’s being discussed? It appears that OP was referring to HS GPA, while Gibby is referring to College GPA.</p>

<p>Am I missing something here?</p>

<p>My son had to calculate his GPA by hand, because his was reported numerically. He listed each grade as an A, B, C, etc., based on his school’s system (93-100 was an A and 85-92 was a B). The As were assigned 4 points and the Bs were assigned 3 points. Some courses were worth more than one credit, so he weighted those (e.g., if physics was worth 1.5 credits, and he got an A in it, he multiplied 4.0 x 1.5). After he added up all of these values, he divided them by the total number of credits.</p>

<p>Realizing I’m just picking numbers out of the blue, the calculation would look like:</p>

<p>[(20 classes) x (4.0 x 1 credit each) + (5 classes) x (3.0 x 1 credit each) + 3 classes x (4.0 x 1.5 credits each) + (4 classes) x (3.0 X 1.5 credits each)] / (20 + 5 + 4.5 + 6 credits) = 3.69.</p>
