<p>Here is the link to the 2013 freshmen admissions statistics: <a href="http://www.umass.edu/oapa/publications/factbooks/admissions/FB_ad_10.pdf"&gt;http://www.umass.edu/oapa/publications/factbooks/admissions/FB_ad_10.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The last category lists statistics about GPA. Are the reported GPA's unweighted or weighted? Also, I have heard that UMass calculates a weighted GPA from the grades provided.</p>

<p>I believe that UMass does use a weighted GPA from grades provided. Honors classes are weighted 5 points and AP classes are weighted 10 points.</p>

<p>Note D. High School GPA of freshmen is a cumulative GPA of academic courses with additional weight given to honors and AP courses</p>
