For instance, an A in a regular class is 4 points

But an A in an Honors class is 4+1=5 points

Prep:

A = 4

B = 3

C = 2

D = 1

F = 0

Honors:

A = 5

B = 4

C = 3

D = 1

F = 0

Like me, i had a 3.95 GPA with my weighted Honors classes.

And a 3.68 GPA non weighted w/o Honors.

And I got accepted to Berkeley, in fact that’s where I’m going this coming spring. But remember you also have to do other activities like sports and clubs to increase your chances. Also high SAT/ACT scores help.

Having a 3.4 gpa is pretty good, you can get into a good college with that. Take AP classes too, they help to prepare you for college. And remember, colleges would choose you over some1 with the exact gpa but never took honors classes. Because they know honors classes are much more difficult and will see that you are a dedicated student.
