On an unweighted 4.0 scale an A is worth 4 points, B-3, C-2, D-1,F-0
You take all of your grades, add up the point value of them and divide by the number of grades. So if you have 6 classes with grades A, B, B, C, C, A then it would be 4+3+3+2+2+4 divided by 6 and that's your GPA

If an H in a weighted honors class is 5.00 and you make an A which is a weighted 4.50 does this mean your unweighted GPA drops below a 4.00?
it shouldn't affect your unweighted GPA, as long as your weighted GPA is higher than a 4.0 then your unweighted stays a 4.0 (hopefully this makes sense)

Could one get into a top college with a 3.95 unweighted GPA and 1500 on the SAT?
Top colleges prefer new students to hold a unweighted GPA over 3.7 and a SAT score above 1900. It is possible to attend a top college with a 3.95 unweighted GPA and a low SAT score of 1500 with letter of recommendations, and lots of community/volunteer experience.
When applying to college do you list your weighted or unweighted GPA?
They will almost always tell you if you look hard enough on the application or call someone at the college. Most schools want your unweighted GPA, although many will look at both.
What is the difference between a GPA and a unweighted GPA?
There are two types of GPAs that high schools can report to colleges. Depending on your high school, your transcript can report a weighted GPA or an unweighted GPA (or both). Check with your guidance counselor if you're unsure of your school's policy.A weighted GPA is going to give you brownie points for challenging yourself with harder classes. For example, Advanced Placement and Honors classes are generally more difficult and demanding than Academic classes are. Therefore, many schools offer an extra quality point that can be added to the GPA to "make up" for the difficulty. For example, a "B" in an AP class may be translated into an "A" in an academic class, based on a weighted GPA. Weighted GPAs can also factor in any +'s you might have. For example, an A+ would be given extra points over an A.An unweighted GPA however strips all these brownie points away and leaves you with exactly what you've earned in your classes. A B is a B is a B, according to an unweighted GPA, and an A+ becomes a regular A. In the American education system used by most high schools, the highest unweighted GPA is a 4.0. (Weighted varies widely).SAMPLE GPA SCALEGrade Earned/ UW GPA/ W GPAA....................4.0...........5.0B....................3.0...........4.0C....................2.0...........3.0D....................1.0...........2.0F................No credit......1.0It's important that you challenge yourself with AP/Honors classes. The weighting can really help out your GPA. You should be warned though, most colleges will recalculate weighted GPAs on their own scale (which is always unweighted).
How high can GPA's be?
Well at my school a weighted GPA goes up to 5 and an unweighted GPA goes up to 4. It might vary depending on the school

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPAs?
Weighted GPA Many schools offer accelerated and Advanced Placement (AP) classes to students who show academic merit. To distinguish an "A" in the advanced geometry class from that in the regular one, schools often assign a different point system to harder classes. They may, for example, bump up a student's grade by .5 points if the class they took was accelerated. Therefore, a student with three "Bs" in a regular class may have a 3.0 GPA while one with three "Bs" in advanced classes may have a 3.5 GPA. If a student takes only accelerated classes and their school bumps up each accelerated grade by one point, they may potentially earn a 5.0 GPA. The weight a school assigns to each class varies, and straight "A" students can graduate with different weighted GPAs depending on the school they attended. Unweighted GPA The unweighted GPA is the average of all class grades based on a 4.0 scale. If the student earned an "A" in an advanced English class, the unweighted grade would still be a 4.0- the corresponding number on standard grade conversion charts-instead of, for example, a 4.5. Regardless of class level, each class is graded on the same point system. Things can get a bit confusing when schools have an unweighted scale but still offer and "A+" that is worth 4.3 points. While still unweighted, this GPA is higher than a 4.0. Generally, however, an unweighted GPA peaks at 4.0. Students who have taken accelerated classes may have lower GPAs on this scale, but those who have a regular schedule may fare better in class rank once everyone is on the same playing field. Because the weight a school attaches to each accelerated class varies, an unweighted GPA allows schools and award providers to see a student's performance on the same scale, regardless of the school they attended. Unfortunately, additional efforts exerted in advanced classes may not be as visible
