[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the counselor at WJ Senior meeting - the weighted GPA is on a 5 point scale and the non-weighted is on a 4 point scale.[/quote] That does not make sense. If it were on a 5 point scale, it would not be "weighted." The whole notion of weighted means "additional." Also a weighted GPA includes weighted and non-weights classes, so it couldn't be out of 5.0 because that is impossible for the unweighted classes. So, my guess is that this counselor or someone even higher up in MCPS doesn't understand weighting. They (W and UW) are both on a 4.0 scale, but one is weighted. [/quote] This is exactly what I thought and makes a lot of sense. But I did some googling on this and concluded that most think of weighted as a 5.0 scale and that's what most folks put for weighted.
