How can you do more than perfect?
My granddaughter had a 4.3 GPA and is now attending Dennison University. This year she'll be attending a university in Italy for three months and she also just received a letter from Dennison that she has been invited to attend a university in Finland for two years. So, yeah, you can have better than a 4.0.
Yeah, but the issue was "how can it happen?" not "does it happen?" Once again, Google to the rescue.

Quote:It can’t unless your school uses weighting which give more credits to honors or AP classes. Some schools weigh an AP class as a 4.5, 4.8, or even a 5.0. this is how people come up with GPAs over 4.0.
So, yeah. Grade Inflation.
