<p>Un-weighted</p>

<p>^False. They look at the rigor of the classes you take and then they determine which one to look at.</p>

<p>For Example:</p>

<p>If a student has taken many AP classes and gets a good weighted GPA of lets say 4.3 but he gets a low unweighted average of 3.5 they will actually be very HAPPY that the student challenged himself. Even though he got a low Unweighted GPA, They will look at the weighted GPA more.</p>

Ask your GC what is shown on your transcript. That is what the colleges will see. If both are provided it will depend on the college. Most will use the UW # while considering course rigor. Some will use the wtd # as provided.</p>
