How to read Boston University's number

Colleges read a GPA next to the courses behind it. A slightly lower GPA earned in the hardest schedule your school offers usually reads better than a higher one without it.

Because this figure is on the scale the school reports, which it does not specify, compare it with your GPA on the same scale. Calculate your weighted GPA.
