What are the numerical values for each letter grade under a "weighted" GPA

[Brackis]

Went to a private HS on an 11 point scale and trying to figure out what my "weighted" gpa was for the traditional 4.0 scale.

Example... a B+ in an AP course is a ___ as opposed to in an honors course it is a ___ and a normal course is a ____.

A - 4
B - 3
C - 2
D - 1
F - 0

AP/Honors courses are +1 I think.

4.2=A+
4=A
3=B
2=C
1=D
0=F
and then theres .5's

At my school, AP classes are weighted by 1, so A=5, B=4 and so on.
AP Classes-
A=5
B=4
C=3
D=2
F=0 or 1, i'm not sure
Regular or Honors are regular scale

Weighted means NOTHING for example I had a few friends at public school with 4.8-5.0 GPA's. Want to know the first thing the University did when they got their transcripts? Unweight the GPA and apply their own weight. For example, it was not possible at my school (even with A+'s in every single class) to get above a 4.5, but because my school was widely regarded as one of the top prep schools in the southeast, my 3.9 weighted got me into a lot more schools than their 4.8's did.

I guess my point is that you shouldn't worry about weighting your GPA because it's completely subjective and colleges won't even look at it. You might as well tell people that you got a 6.0 GPA for all it matters.

/edit BTW, awesome quote in your sig OP

Most colleges don't care about weighted GPA's though. They will only look at your regular GPA and then consider what courses you took. Anybody can get a 4.0 with enough art credits.

Just to confirm that on a regular 4.0 scale

A=4
A-=3.7
B+=3.3
B=3
B-=2.7
C+=2.3
etc..?

So you are saying that "weighted" is not the same across the board?
Anyone know what the most common #s are?
