Weighted, or “accelerated,” classes typically count on a 5.0 scale. So she may have had some B’s that count as a 4.0 and ended up with higher than a 4.0. In this case the gpa that BYU would consider would be lower than 4.0 because she had some B’s, which now count as a 3.0 when calculating her gpa. All weighted classes will be counted on a 4.0 scale instead of 5.0
