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.
Hmm... I'm with you. I never heard of being better than a 4.0 either until my granddaughter graduated high school two years ago. She was the top Valedictorian in her graduating class. Funny how they work things these days. We're getting old, dude.
