<p>Yes- UW will calculate an unweighted gpa of “academic” subjects (not sure which are/are not- such as phy ed, music, art). All years count- freshman through senior (don’t be a slacker). They also will note gpa trends- up and down. Therefore a junior year gpa that is significantly higher than the previous years is better than the same gpa all 3 years. I suspect they will use the +'s and -'s, don’t know for sure.</p>
