@riklik - I’m no expert on the process, but my understanding is many (but not all) colleges will take a student’s transcript, throw out the non-core classes (like Graphics, Theology, etc.), apply their own scale to the core classes to compute a weighted GPA based on their system. So a 3.0 in an AP or honors class might be a 3.5 or 4.0 and a 3.0 in the lowest level class would just be a 3.0…something to that effect. So my son had a 2.8/4.0 UW but took all honors classes so that might compute to a 3.5/5.0 in the eyes of a college. As I mentioned, not all schools do this but it is my general understanding of the process.
