I live in Richmond VA (Henrico County) and we have a 7 point scale. My sister’s kids in NJ use a 10 point scale, which on the surface may seem advantageous. However, my sister recently attended a lecture at a highly selective university that indicated many universities rework GPA’s to create uniformity among applicants. I am guessing as long as your transcript provides a “number” they will calculate it their way and dismiss whatever GPA is provided.
