Your school had a 5.0 scale. Many schools, including mine, had a 4.0 scale.

As with Greek GPA requirements, the actual GPA is weighted based on 4.0 or 5.0 scale.

All of the "with honors" students at my school had a 3.0 and above and were NHS. I had over a 3.0 and was NHS; but a 3.9 isn't automatically better than a 3.0 if the 3.0 student was more active in the school and community.
