<p>^But wouldn’t a 100/100 be a 4.0?</p>
<p>It really depends on the school. At my high school, a 97 was an A+, which was a 4.3. For honors classes, that would have been a 4.8, and for AP that would have been a 5.3</p>
<p>In South Carolina public schools, a 97 is a 4.5 in College Prep classes, 5.0 in Honors, and a 5.5 in AP/IB.</p>
<p>It might be easier for you to take your report cards and calculate your GPA by yourself. A basic rule of thumb is to add .5 for Honors classes and 1.0 for AP classes. Your school may calculate differently, but that can show you what the ballpark figure is for your GPA weighted, instead of just having an arbitrary number.</p>
<p>I know that I had a 2.9 uw in high school, but a 3.4 weighted. So honors/AP classes make a huge difference. I think I ended up graduating with like a 3.5 because of all the AP courses I took.</p>
