[edit] GPA

GPA 4.3? Are we to understand that he got an A+ in every course? Formidable! --Ziusudra 15:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The way it works in most American public schools is that even with an A-, you get 4.0 credit, however, Advanced Placement classes can net you a 5.0 if you score any sort of A in those. There are many wildly different scales for GPA, but that's how my high school worked, and it's what I believe to be the typical system. So it would be possible for him to have a few B's, but make it up with A's in AP classes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.158.47.146 (talk • contribs) 10:33, Feb 20, 2007 (UTC)
Reading the GPA article, it seems neither typical nor credible. --Ziusudra 21:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WIkifying

I did some wikifying, it might look excessive but based on my experiences on FAC and some GACs many non-Americans don't know what terms like senior or fourth grade are in Academics surprisingly. Quadzilla99 15:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
