<p>i go to a school with grade inflation, and our gpa is on a 5.0 scale...
my unweighted gpa is currently 5.0 and weighted is 5.7ish
which is best to put on applications?</p>
<p>If it just asks for GPA, you should put your unweighted GPA, converted to a 4.0 scale. Otherwise, you can put both, indicating that one is weighted and one is unweighted, and also that it is on a 5.0 scale (or else convert it to a 4.0 scale). </p>
<p>Either way, its not too important because colleges typically look at your grades and then recalculate your GPA to their standards.</p>
