It’s 5.0 standard now. He is a run of the mill ‘B’ student.
I always get confused too.
What, ABCDF and Q?
Not exactly. That is his weighted gpa based on the difficulty of his classes. It means he is in honors and AP classes. Getting a B in AP lang or physics is not the same as being a “run of the mill B student”.
It is meant to give colleges a better picture of a student’s level. Two students with the same gpa, one in all remedial, and the other in all AP classes, are not the same college prepared student.
He is obviously smart, for a giant dumbass. Those colleges are very picky, and a weighted 4.1 is not going to cut it against kids taking the same level of classes, and getting 5.0’s. He is using his 15 minutes to try and score preferential treatment.
So how does it work? Did they just add 1 to all the traditional letter scores?
