<p>i know UCSD has avg admission gpa of 4.05..and i know that's weighted..</p>

<p>so with that in mind those can't be uw now can they?</p>

<p>Hmm..I alway assumed it was a weighted gpa....that is weighted by the way that the college weights...so for UCSD when they say 4.05 they mean the UC GPA (they have a very specific formula, no freshman grades, only a-g classes,etc, max of honors/AP grades, etc).<br>
Other schools we visited told us that they either went with the weighted gpa on the high school transcript, or some of them re-weighted the gpa as they wanted to, so that they re-weighted gpas on a level playing field like UCSD.
I always thought that these stats were self reported, as some school profiles don't give the information.</p>
