Is the answer 4.0 for MCPS? Obviously kids can get higher than that, but it doesn't seem 5.0 is correct since 4 is the base for non-weighted courses.
Our MCPS school counselor said 4.0 scale.

Really? We had the opposite advice!
From whom?
"If your school calculates both weighted and unweighted Class Rank/GPA, report the weighted value. "
https://appsupport.commonapp.org/applicantsupport/s/article/How-do-I-report-my-class-rank-and-GPA
They'll recalculate, so it really doesn't matter, but I'd go with weighted.

Scale should be 4.0. Enter the weighted GPA. This is according to two different high schools not in the DC area
The scale is not 5.0.
The scale is not 5.0.
