Most colleges look at unweighted grades, but if you take honors or AP classes, you might get weighted grades, in other words, if you get a B in an honors class, it is made equal to getting an A in a regular class. Colleges look at both grades and courseloads.

Schools with offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses use a 5.0 system for those classes. Thus, a person who has perfect (or near-perfect) grades, including some for AP classes, may have more than a 4.0. There is a lot of discussion about the fact that this is unfair to those who go to schools which don't offer many (or any) AP classes.

I didn't think you could get anything above a 4.0, I know you can take AP classes. I didn't think that could get you above a 4.0

I think you can get better than a 4.0 by taking AP courses.

You can't 4.0 is highest. You can go anywhere even with a 3.8 and good SAT. Why would you want to go higher than 4.0?

It has to do with the classes you take. The more advanced classes, like AP classes and dual enrollment classes are worth more than others, so you can end up with a higher GPA.

Extra credit would be the best
