Question: are all a's a 4.0?
Answer: In this guide, the 4.0 I'm talking about is a 4.0 unweighted GPA. A 4.0 means an A or A+ in every class, with no exceptions. An A- is a 3.7 on this scale, and a single one will knock you down from a perfect GPA. Typically an A+ doesn't count as a 4.3, so you can't go above a 4.0.
