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.

Yeah, for some reason they count A as 5.0 instead of 4.0.

I'll make my own university and turn the GPA up to 11. And with blackjack and hookers.
