<p>I heard the Average GPA of University of Pennsylvania is 3.83.</p>
<p>Is this weighed or unweighed ? Are all the “Average GPAs” reported by schools weighed ?</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure that's the average high school gpa of incoming freshmen...</p>
<p>the average gpa of all penn undergraduates in 2001 was a 3.32.</p>
<p>Yes is this weighed appropriately or is it not?</p>
<p>Like I mean I take AP/IB courses and have 3.57 GPA (Weighed it becomes 4.29). Would Penn count this as 4.29 or as 3.57 ?</p>
<p>that gpa would be out of 4.0, unweighted.</p>
<p>if weighted gpa were counted in that figure it would be pretty crazy (my high school had a 7.0 system, for example)</p>
<p>7.0 that's crazy! Well I officially have no chances whatsoever at UPenn.</p>
<p>My school weighs Honors classes and AP/IB classes the same (5.0)</p>
<p>apply anyway if you really want to be here. gpa is not the sole determining factor in the success of your application.</p>
<p>where do you go to school? (the weighting system sounds like moco public schools and I overcame a GPA that may keep me out of the top 5%)</p>
<p>I think my school has the best system (a lot of schools do this).</p>
<p>CP - 4 points
Honors - 5 Points
AP - 6 points</p>
<p>so the top 30 kids in the class will be about 4.3-5.1</p>
<p>Of course getting a 6.0 or even 5.7 is impossible (certain classes such as P/E are not AP or Honors).</p>
<p>Thus every school is different, u will be judged based on your options and what you chose to take.</p>

<p>You'll be fine. I go to one of the normal public schools that also had 25+EDers and about 1/3 of them were legacies.</p>
<p>Ah 32 of (Magnet IB kids) applied to Ivies ED here.</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>
<p>wait they look at this in the context of your schools' grading system, i hope?
also -- does anyone who goes to penn know what the average GPA for JUST wharton is? i'm actually thinking about hunstman..does my GPA need to be higher.
i have a 3.7 but a ton of AP classes</p>
<p>So long as you are one of the top students at a very competitive school or the top student at a moderately/notso competitive school you will have a GPA high enough to be competitive for Huntsman. At my high school a 3.7 would have you out of the top 10% (top 5% was out of my range and I had a 3.95). It's more about class rank than about the straight out number.</p>
<p>k thx for the info...see, i don't know if my school ranks based on weighted or unweighted grades. i'm really hoping the aps/honors count for something.</p>
