MIT has a gpa scale that goes to 5?
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.

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.
This triggered my shitpost Spidey senses. But what do I know. I never studied in the US.
