Although a few GPA conversion charts weight a 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 and 100 as a 4.0, when looking at high school transcripts, Admissions officers understand that a student who has a 98.7 GPA at a high school, for example, worked harder than a student at the same high school who has a 95.4 GPA – so many colleges use their own institutional formula: <a href=“Why Colleges Scoff At Your Kid's GPA - WSJ”>http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB105899458688282900</a></p>
