How can I increase my GPA?
I would ask my counselor this but he never answers my questions, so here I am. I have a 3.95 GPA (according to Collegevine) and I'm wondering if a 4.0 is possible or at least 3.99 by the time I graduate in 2024. Would I have to maintain all A+'s?
edit: I'm also in the pre IB program and will be working towards the IB Diploma. At my school all Letter grades are the same, so 90-100 is just an A, 80-89 is B, and so on and so forth.
all A's are equal

The Formula to figure this out for any GPA is the following:
((CurrentGPA)(#Semesters)+(FutureGPA)(#Semesters))/Total Semesters
So if you have a 3.95 and you have 2 semesters of HS grades and you are confident you can get a 4.0 GPA for the next 6 semesters you would plug these numbers into the formula.
((3.95)(2)+(4.00)(6))/8 = 3.9875 GPA by the time you graduate or,
((3.95)(2)+(4.00)(5))/7 = 3.985 GPA by the time you apply to college Winter 2023/2024.
Good luck.
So essentially if you get all As the rest of the Hs careeer you’ll be Golden. There’s no functional difference between a 4.0 and a 3.95. Essentially I’d try to have 10 As for every B. Also all As are equal so if you get a 90.1 in every single class you can still get a 3.95+ GPA. So not A+ but if you want to get it as close as possible to a 4 you need to continue getting As.
Hope this helps and feel free to comment if you’s like clarification as I’d be more than happy to help!

What scale do you use? 90-100 is an A and all As are equal?
