get straight A's

Yes, I do.
Maybe you can drop some of those courses that you did NOT get a 4.0 grade in.
A very similar situation happened to me back in 1972. My final grade point average for college was going to be 3.394...., thus rounding off to 3.39. The cut-off for receiving the "high honors" on my degree (and transcript) was 3.40. As I was in my final term and graduating and could not take any more classes, what I did was to go back and drop an entire COURSE from my official transcript, for a one credit bowling class that I took and only received a grade of 3.0.
I had an extra couple credits beyond what was required for my degree, and I had taken a different health course, in which I had received a 4.0, so I was able to drop that entire class, and even though I lost the credit (which I didn't need anyway), I ALSO LOST THE 3.0 GRADE from my overall average.
This raised my overall GPA to just above the 3.3951...... point, and ended rounding UP to 3.4 for a final GPA, and thus I got the "High Honors" desigination on my degree.
It worked for me.
(Pretty sneaky, but totally legal, and I think proper, as bowling certainly had nothing to do with my major or career. AND I think I deserved the High Honors just for THINKING of doing this!).
Good luck! Learn to work the system.....

It depends a little on whether you're talking a cumulative grade point or a semester grade point. At many schools it would be impossible to get a 4.00 once you've gotten anything less. If your school does give additional credit for honors classes or for A+ grades, that would work, but at many places 4.00 is the highest. If that's the case, you're pretty much S.O.L. on getting a cumulative 4.00.
That's really no big deal, though. 3.867 is considered an "A" average (not A-) by virtually every college. They're much more likely to care about what classes you actually took and would care more if you took easy classes to pad the GPA than took more challenging classes and happened to get the occasional A- or B.
... And if you mean a semester 4.00, the answer as someone else said is simple--just get all A's.

Get above a 4.0 on your next couple report cards. It's possible with enough extra credit. I know one kid who graduated highschool with a 4.6! Just make sure that everything you hand in is 100% or higher and ask teachers for a lot of extra credit. That's the only way you'll be able to pull a 3.867 to 4.0. If you're a senior, it's probably not gonna happen. Good luck!

By getting straight A's or A+ in honors or AP courses which usually carry more weight than an honors or CP class. Good luck!!

If your school offers honors classes and will give you 5.0 for an A...
Or, if you have a lot of classes to take you may be able to get it close enough to 4 (i.e. 3.9999) that they will round it up.
But is 3.867 really that bad?

statistically if you have missed an A you will not be able to get back to a 4.0 unless your school allows you to exclude some classes.

make sure you get atleast 2 A+s and rest As.
A+=4.3
A=4
