<p>This is probably a stupid question, but do colleges see your weighted GPA, your unweighted GPA, or both? I'm a ninth-grader and I'm still figuring out all of this college admission stuff :)</p>
<p>They’ll see both, but unweighted matters much more. Take a rigorous coarse load but don’t excuse a B in a class as “A work” because you get the bonus 1 point in an AP course. Get great grades with a challenging schedule. But worry more about your unweighted GPA.</p>
<p>Get As. Take a challenging schedule but not to the extent of sacrifiicing grades. So if you are doing poorly, shift some of the harder classes to a lower level.</p>
<p>Thanks for both of your replies :)</p>
<p>It depends on the school.</p>
<p>My school sends both. A lot of schools only send weighted. I know that in SC, they don’t really have an “unweighted” or a “weighted” GPA, because of the Uniform Grading Policy.</p>
<p>If your school gives you a weighted GPA and an unweighted GPA, then more than likely they’ll send both.</p>
<p>In addition, some colleges only look at your weighted GPA, while others only look at your unweighted. Some look at both. Some look at neither and recalculate it entirely.</p>
