Wow. I am not an expert in the weighted/unweighted GPA details. Does a weighted 4.6 GPA mean that your child never once in four years got a B??

I am not the PP but my DS also had a 4.6. Over the course of his high school career, he only received two B+s as quarter grades and his final grades were always A-, A or A+.

This is not my experience for my kids, so I am genuinely curious. Were they honors and advanced courses? My kid goes to a school with no weighted grades. He got Bs in classes despite a tremendous amount of work and where he got 5s on the AP exam (BC Calc and AP chem) . My understanding is even the valedictorian has a B every now and then. How does your high school discern between kids? And assuming all the AP tests were 5s?

Well clearly your kid goes to a very different school, I assume it’s private? This is a public school in Virginia. All classes except for band either had a .5 GPA bump for honors or 1.0 for AP or DE. My DS did get mostly 5 on the exams though he got a 4 on AP calc and and a 3 on AP Spanish.

Everyone’s school is different so the admissions counselors get a description of the school and the typical distribution of grades etc to explain these differences.
