Default Class Rank?

When you take dual enrollment do you get full credit to your HS GPA and College GPA? That is what it said on Wikipedia. Do these usually weigh a lot and really boost your HS GPA?

Yes, you get full credit to your HS GPA. Whether or not it factors into your college depends on if you use the credits after high school (and if they transfer to where you're going). Usually, these classes are very weighted. I've gotten a 4.3 GPA for one trimester. On the other hand, don't forget that colleges put a lot more stock into your unweighted GPA than your weighted, so the only thing that weighted GPA's are really good for are pushing you up in class rank.
