MIT has a gpa scale that goes to 5?
Hey, don't poke holes in these undisputable "facts"!
How dare you.
I actually have no idea and I don't even live in the USA and I've never heard of this person before now so I have no idea what I'm actually talking about.
GPA scales make no sense here, but usually the top varies somewhere between 4.0 and 5.0.
At the university I went to, I believe it went to 4.0 with honors, but I only knew one person who got remotely close to that. Honors was a separate process where they make you miserable in your last two years for no discernable benefit.
