Why is my weighted GPA higher than 4.0?

Advanced courses like AP and IB award bonus points (up to 5.0 for an A). Earning high grades in these classes allows your overall weighted average to exceed 4.0.

Do colleges look at weighted or unweighted GPA?

Colleges evaluate both. Unweighted GPA indicates raw performance, while weighted GPA shows the academic rigor of your course selection.

What is a good weighted GPA?

A weighted GPA above 4.0 is generally considered very good, showing that you take advanced courses and perform well. Top colleges often see applicants with 4.2 to 4.5+ GPAs.

How does a pass/fail class affect my weighted GPA?

Pass/fail classes do not affect your GPA. They grant credits toward graduation but are completely excluded from GPA calculations.
