<p>The Question is simple. Well, There are 2 of them. </p>

<p>When in high school AP's/IB's boost your GPA, (Hence weighted), do colleges look at your weighted GPA or just your unweighted GPA and the rigor of your course-load (or even both?)</p>

<p>When colleges (overall, not asking for specifics) publish their admission statistics are the listed GPA's Weighted or Unweighted?</p>

<p>Often, it is either a holistic look at the courses and grades, or a GPA recalculated by the college’s method. They are not likely to compare the weighted GPAs from different high schools that use different weighting methods.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, the colleges’ reported high school GPAs of applicants and admits may not be consistent with regard to weighted or unweighted.</p>
