@jmd5505 The website does state that the GPA is based on a 4.0 scale (it’s a double asterisk and is found in the notes at the bottom). For a different point of view, my daughter’s school does not weight grades - she has taken all honors and/or AP classes and has an unweighted GPA of 3.6. Even for those schools that weight grades, there is no consistent method of weighting grades - I have seen kids who have received an A get a 5.0 (or higher) GPA, a 4.5 GPA, etc., where the unweighted A is a 4.0. They review the coursework as well as the grade and it actually is very fair.
