What then would the scale be?

My divination of the short, ambiguous OP was a 4 point scale with 0.5 quality points for honors classes and year-long schedule of seven classes. Assuming PE was the only non-honors class, and she got all 'A’s and one ‘B’ gives

Unweighted: (6 x 4 + 3) / 7 = 3.857
Weighted: (4 (PE) + 4 ( Honors B ) + 5 * 4.5) / 7 = 4.357

which are kind of close to the reported grades. The point of the thread is “Are my Ivy dreams ruined now by getting that B?”.
