<p>My GPA is 2.4 (I know, right? Ugh.)
My “boyfriend’s” is 2.9.
I take honors/AP classes. He doesn’t.
He’s 35th in the class. I’m 36th.</p>
<p>My guidance counselor told me my grades were already weighted.
If that’s true, how am I so close to him in rank?
Does it look like my GPA is unweighted?</p>
<p>We can’t tell unless we know what your specific grades were. From what it sounds, your boyfriend gets higher grades than you.</p>
<p>In a weighted system…
For regular classes: ‘A’ is 4.0, ‘B’ is 3.0, ‘C’ is 2.0, and ‘D’ is 1.0.
For honors/AP classes: ‘A’ is 5.0, ‘B’ is 4.0, ‘C’ is 3.0, ‘D’ is 2.0.</p>
<p>Your boyfriend probably received B’s and C’s in regular classes while you received C’s and D’s in honors/AP classes.</p>
<p>Yes, that’s how our weighting system works…</p>
<p>Which is a little strange, because our grades are pretty much the same, and I’ve only recieved a couple D’s in my high school career.</p>
<p>^ Wow… I wish my school had that grading scale…</p>
