If you take classes that are worth more than 3 credit hours, and get A's in them, it's possible.

That's pretty cracked out. Say you took a 5 credit chem class and got an A, and a 3 credit lit class and got an A.

5 x 4 = 20 pts for chem
3 x 4 = 12 pts for lit

32 pts / 8 credits = 4.0 GPA

The way you get above a 4.0 is if your school does some sort of weighted grade sytem,, like alloting a 4.5 or a 5 for an A in an honors seminar.

What a load of horse shit. You would think schools would fight grade inflation, not encourage it.

My school doesn't do it because we're trying to be the Milwaukee version of your school now or something. No curves in econ this year.

Actually, it's not the credits thing at W&L.

We have a plus and minus system at W&L. If you get an A+ it's a 4.333. Neat eh?

It's pretty damn hard to get an A+ though. Actually for most professors it's impossible. However they do like to rock the A-s.

And just to nip this in the bud, please don't anyone try to tell me about W&L grade inflation. There is NONE here.

We had a plus/minus system at my undergrad school also, but we couldn't earn an A+. It stopped at A, which of course was a 4.0. Boooo!

I got a 3.86 this semester and made dean's list again

(p.s. at my school an A+ is a 4.0 and you can't get above a 4.0 for anything..)

I made it on the Dean's List for the first time this semester with a 3.625.

I'm aiming for Dean's High Honors for next semester.
