About High School GPA
High school GPA comes in two forms: unweighted (all classes treated equally on a 4.0 scale) and weighted (harder classes receive bonus points, producing a 5.0 scale). Most colleges evaluate both. Unweighted GPA shows your raw academic performance; weighted GPA and course rigor together show your willingness to challenge yourself.
College admissions offices are aware that grading and weighting policies differ by school district and state. They typically evaluate your GPA in the context of the courses available at your school and your class rank. A 3.8 unweighted GPA with all AP classes is viewed differently than a 3.8 with only Regular classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good high school GPA?
A 3.0 unweighted GPA (B average) is considered average. A 3.5 is competitive for most four-year college admissions. A 3.7 or higher is considered excellent, and top universities typically admit students with unweighted GPAs of 3.9 to 4.0 combined with rigorous course selection (AP, Honors, IB).
How much does an AP class boost my GPA?
An AP or IB class adds 1.0 point to the grade point value on the weighted scale. So a B in an AP class is worth 4.0 (instead of 3.0), and an A in an AP class is worth 5.0 (the maximum). A Honors class adds 0.5, making a B worth 3.5 and an A worth 4.5.
Do colleges look at weighted or unweighted GPA?
Most colleges consider both, but many recalculate GPA using their own formula. Unweighted GPA is typically the primary number, but admissions officers also evaluate course rigor (AP, Honors, IB enrollment) separately. A high unweighted GPA with challenging coursework is generally more impressive than a high weighted GPA with only Regular classes.
How many credits does a high school class have?
This varies by school and state. The most common system is 0.5 credits per semester-long class and 1.0 credit per year-long class. Some schools use different units. Check with your school counselor or look at your transcript for the credit values assigned to your specific courses.
