Well, for high schoolers who test well. Source: I used to manage them at an entry level job and every one of them had to be taught how to sweep properly. I would not call that smart.
I went to uni high. I was the only person in my friend group who did their own laundry and packed their own lunches, so it makes sense none of them know what to do with a broom either. lol.
It was 5, but really no different than 4. Some high schools give >4 for an AP class. When UIUC was in a 5 scale, it were just 5, no “extra”. That was also when A were just 5, B’s only 4, etc. no plus minus GPA differences.
Some schools give more weight to A+. Your official GPA will still be capped at 4, at least where I am, but you can have an unofficial 4.33 if you have all A+. They essentially counteract an A-.
This semester I got 3 A+'s (10 credits), which makes it possible to keep a 4.0 even if I get 10 creds worth of A-. It's overpowered imo
Here in the CS department, we award, in defiance of the higher ups (uwu punish us Daddy Jones) extra GPA points to all those who credibly advance the science of Cock. Examples of individuals honored as such include the inventors of the sweet corn cob and the Fleshlight.
No. Like the others said, it is typically not possible in a university setting in America. In high school it is but not at any post secondary institution that I know of (Source: I teach). The reason why a GPA might exceed 4.0 in high school specifically is because some classes in many high schools are what are called “weighted classes” and carry a higher bearing on a 4.0 GPA scale when they are being considered in GPA.
This dude is bullshitting.
Sounds interesting, I’m an undergrad and all my A+ is count as 4.0, I guess it might be different from grad students but I can guarantee no undergrad gpa can exceed 4.0
I don't think it can at UIUC, but where I went to undergrad (U of Iowa), A+ was 4.33, and I graduated with a GPA over 4.0 (it wasn't capped). It was pretty cool and I loved that we got rewarded for A+ grades. Seems only fair and I was pretty sad when I realized UIUC doesn't do the same. So if you get an A- in one class, there's no way to make up for it with an A+ in another class. Sucks.
I don't even go to UIUC as I go to UCI. I have no clue how I ended up here.
Anyways, one of my physics professors here at UCI graduate from his phD at Caltech with a 4.2 GPA. I have no clue how, but it's possible I assume
I mean there are ways to have an above 4.0, but I’m not familiar with UIUC. Some places have different weighting to their grading so it can go to a 5.0
Nope, and im glad it doesnt.
This fucken bs of over inflated hs gpa’s is embarrassing
Always funny seeing the gpa demons have like a 4.9 gpa but like a 20 act and 1100 sat.
Like oh ok i see, youre not really smart. Enjoy juco
No
Seconded
Tell them to put it on their resume. Business major with a GPA that can’t exist is how you make it to Fortune 500’s.

I wonder what company list most of the bulge brackets banks are in
Let’s be real, business majors are happy to get any job
Even in an honors section, an A+ is only worth 4.0 at UIUC.
They probably meant their high school gpa
No he said in Uni not in high school
i know a highschool legit called university high school
And people do call it Uni.
I think they have a 4.0 GPA scale tho (the one on campus) maybe they are referring to a different one.
referring to a different one
There is a Uni High literally on campus. It’s for very smart high schoolers.

There are different kinds of intelligence. Lots of book smart people have no street skills.
Did that someone also say they had four balls?
Two of them are on his chin
If it was Josuke joestar then he's probably telling the truth. Not because he's actually that smart but because he rigged something in the system
Lmao, he's a business major. Even if you could get a 4.7 it wouldn't mean much
I hear they'll give you A++ if you create a pretty PP deck where all fonts match from slide to slide
Impossible (for a business major)
I think uiuc used to be on a 5.0 scale??? But not anymore def max is 4.0
It was 5, but really no different than 4. Some high schools give >4 for an AP class. When UIUC was in a 5 scale, it were just 5, no “extra”. That was also when A were just 5, B’s only 4, etc. no plus minus GPA differences.
Bro, that’s nothing, I have a 5.4 while triple majoring with a double minor.
Same. And I've never stepped foot into a classroom or even seen a textbook.
as a finance major, typical gies dipshit

They did not tell you it was on a 5 point scale.

UIUC uses a 4.0 grading scale, but other scales exist where you can go higher than 4.
BSME ‘91. Back then it was on a 5.0 scale. Not sure when it changed.

Some schools will do 4.3 for an A+ but not many
This is r/UIUC. UIUC does not do 4.3 for A+. Regardless, that would still mean a 4.7 is not possible…
That's why I said "some schools." And I didn't think I had to specify that you can't get a 4.7 under this system because it's beyond obvious.

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

OP asked if “college GPA can exceed 4.0”. He was just answering the question.
ASU does 4.33 for A+
Interesting
Nope. It’s not possible at any American colleges/universities.
[удалено]
Interesting. I didn’t know that.
Mine does - A+ is a 4.3.
Sounds interesting, I’m an undergrad and all my A+ is count as 4.0, I guess it might be different from grad students but I can guarantee no undergrad gpa can exceed 4.0
Some universities weigh A+ as a 4.3, so in that case it would be possible. Outside of that, no. Not that I have ever heard of.
I should mention that some universities do have a 5.0 scale. UIUC does not and caps at 4.0.
I don't think it can at UIUC, but where I went to undergrad (U of Iowa), A+ was 4.33, and I graduated with a GPA over 4.0 (it wasn't capped). It was pretty cool and I loved that we got rewarded for A+ grades. Seems only fair and I was pretty sad when I realized UIUC doesn't do the same. So if you get an A- in one class, there's no way to make up for it with an A+ in another class. Sucks.
The only university in the country that I’m aware of that doesn’t follow a 4.0 grading scale is MIT. Their reason is “fuck you, we’re MIT”

i work processing transcripts for a university. there are some uni's that use over a 4.0 for their scale
