Hoping I can ride the shirttail of this thread and ask a similar question in terms of how to list gpa or should I even include a qualifier...my son, has been taking all high school honors classes available to him since 8th grade...the school's gpa system is a 4.0 system, but A's in an honor class actually give you (I think) a 5 in the system, B's a 4 and so on...so, his actual current GPA as a sophmore is 4.2 (in a 4.0 system)...do I list it as 4.2 - honors student or do I say anything about the honors classes and colleges, etc. will understand? Just curious. May not even matter...I'm very proud of him...have always told him that your baseball skills are good, but the academics will open MANY more doors for him (even in baseball).
