I read a very old post dated back to 2011 as the following:

http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/carnegie-mellon-university/1208744-how-does-carnegie-mellon-calculate-unweighted-weighted-gpa.html

it said "“At Carnegie Mellon we will use a students unweighted GPA for the admission process. If a school provides a weighted GPA we will re-calculate the GPA and place it on an unweighted scale. At Carnegie Mellon, we do not include freshman year when we calculate GPA, but we do take into account your grades in your senior year of high school.”

is this still the case?

I’m not sure about freshman year, but any elite college will use unweighted GPA for the admission process.

Dear IdkName - Thank you.

Only unweighted GPA

Hi TL0228 - Does it include all three years from 9th to 11th grade? or just 10th and 11th grade?

i just called CMU, they only count 10 and 11th grades.

they definitely do not count freshman grades

I know CMU only looks at Sophomore and Junior year grades, but does CMU differentiate between the +s and -s. Is an A- and A both 4.0 or is there a difference?
