Please, they haven’t had the 4.0 max in decades.
Honors classes etc get you more than 4 if you get an A... no high academic student graduates with just a 4.0 anymore, haven’t for at least 20+ years now.
Hell, when I was a kid anything under 70 was an F... 7 point ranges per grade if memory serves... Today its 10 point ranges.
So you can still pass if you are only right 60% of the time, its insane.. public education as a whole is an abject failure.
4.1 probably means several Bs, as an A in an AP class is probably 4.5. She doesn’t mention AP exam scores, which were probably bad also. Not submitting SATs to test optional schools is not going to help too much, as they will assume the worst.
The GPA score needs to be put in context. For example, a 4.1 GPA in a 6 point or 11 point GPA system doesn’t mean much:
“The District shall employ a uniform eleven-point weighted grading system”
My point was that an out of norm grading system needs to be explained. 4.1 out of 4 is mathematically out of norm and needs the 4.1 rationale be provided to ensure proper understanding.
