Did my school mess up weighted GPA?

Your post is kind of vague, so this is how I went about it.

I went with you having a GPA of 4.25 (weighted) after your first three years. You said that you had a 4.25 after 2nd semester junior year.

So, from there, I multiplied 4.25 by six for six semesters. Then I added a 5.0 flat for this semester once, which when divided by seven (sum of semester GPAs divided by semesters) gave me about a 4.36.

Now, if you had a 4.25 each semester for Frosh+Soph year, then a 4.13 (Junior-1) and then a 4.25 (Junior-2), with a 5 for Senior-1, then I have a weighted GPA for you of 4.34. I didn’t factor in the extra class, but if my quick calculations are correct, a 5 in there also only adds about one-tenth of one point to it, an insignificant amount.

My math could be off, you confused me with the last year/junior year thing, but basically here is what I got.

Grade - Semester : GPA
9-1 : 4.25
9-2 : 4.25
10-1: 4.25
10-2: 4.25
11-1: 4.13
11-2: 4.25
12:1: 5.00
Average: 4.34

Grade - Semester : GPA
9-1 : 4.25
9-2 : 4.25
10-1: 4.25
10-2: 4.25
11-1: 4.25
11-2: 4.25
12:1: 5.00
Average: 4.36

If my numbers are off, then correct me, but from what I see, your school is right.
