What is the Maximum Weighted GPA?

 A weighted GPA reflects the difficulty of your courses, allowing for GPAs above 4.0 due to advanced classes like AP or Honors. Schools use different scales, often up to 5.0 or 6.0. Achieving a high-weighted GPA requires excelling in challenging courses and effective time management. Colleges interpret these GPAs by recalculating them on a standard 4.0 scale to compare applicants fairly, emphasizing course rigor and class rank. Balancing academics with extracurriculars is crucial for maintaining a strong GPA and presenting a well-rounded application.
