This is an extremely conventional GPA formula. Maybe your school doesn’t believe in grades, but pretty much every American high school and college that gives grades uses these equations or something very similar to compute GPA. [/quote]

I am one of the PPs and it’s still nuts.  You get an A-, B and an A (in a half credit course) and get a 4.08 gpa from that?  That is such blatant grade inflation.  What is the point of grades? This is ridiculous.[/quote]

Like I said before, if you don’t like grades there are alternative high schools that will provide a narrative instead.

You could also use the same grades in the same classes to compute an unweighted academic GPA. (No bumps and no PE.) Here that would be 3.35. Does that make you feel better?

Instead of getting upset, most people simply distinguish between weighted and unweighted GPA. [/quote]

I am not sure why you equated my post about grade inflation to me being upset.  Grades don’t mean anything at this point.  And for the poster who mentioned honors classes and AP classes, those grades are inflated without the grade bump.  [/quote]
