<p>The graph is for weighted grades, so even though you have a yellow dot, may move up with weighted.</p>

<p>is that graph really for weighted gpas??</p>

<p>To use the graph, plot the student’s cumulative high school grade point average and best combined SAT score from a single test date. The scale
used is based on a 4.0 grading system that takes into consideration weighted grades. Based on the color of the point where the GPA and SAT
score intersect, you can use the key below to estimate the student’s likelihood for admission to Penn State.</p>

<p>not to sound like a broken record. LOL but the "culmulative gpa" could be a weighted average? miche--</p>

<p>I'm just copied the chart description - interpret as you wish.</p>

<p>Well, be that as it may, the only gpa my school sends is the unweighted one, the weighted is used to calculate class rank(by decile).</p>

<p>miche~ THANKS! sorry this stuff is just so confusing</p>

<p>I guess people with unweighted gpa's sent are out of luck.</p>
