Grading systems and course difficulty levels vary so much among schools GPA by itself is kind of a worthless measure. Colleges and grad schools have to take your school into consideration when evaluating your GPA. Asking other people what their GPA is/was when they were in school doesn't tell you very much.
Im a senior in High School and have an unweighted GPA of 3.9 but if you take into consideration the Honors and AP classes I have taken, and am taking currently, it would be over a 4.0
also, Honors course recieved a 1/3 boost, and AP course recieved a 2/3 boost.

Oh sweet!! I knew we get some kind of boost because of those but I wasn't sure! Thanks for clearing me up!
Also, is our GPA calculated with the 5 points and 1/3 boost for honors and 10 points and 2/3 boost for AP? If so, then My GPA is:
(4+4+3+4+3+3+2)/7= 3.14+ 1/3+1/3+1/3+2/3=4.80! yay! lol
thats with weighted that is...
another question, does the boost count in nonweighted GPA as well as weighted?

Weighting is a dumb concept.

You have to average it out again.
