<p>Do the high school GPAs of admitted college freshmen displayed on the sites refer to grades up to junior year of HS, or senior year? I'm referring to sites like CollegeBoard and any university website.</p>
<p>Bumping topic because I want to know this for myself. Also is collegeboard posting UW or W GPAs?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I was wondering about the UW and W GPAs too.</p>
<p>Can anyone help?</p>
<p>hmm my guess would be final GPA after graduation. i'm sure all the colleges get the admitted students' final transcripts.</p>
<p>Do you know if the GPAs are W or UW?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that the GPAs are UW.</p>
<p>To me, it's a little bit weird when you see the statistic that 85% of students got at least a 3.75 UW GPA.</p>
<p>The colleges only publish what they have. This would be whatever GPA is put in the computer along with the application. It's weighted for some, unweighted for others...unless the college manually recalculates all the GPAs.</p>
<p>The complete lack of consistency is why many colleges simply leave that question blank when they fill out the Common Data Set for the guidebooks. Even if you had a consistently applied number, the GPA would have to be viewed in the context of the specific high school to have any meaning.</p>
<p>85% would be rare. Princeton is 82% 3.75+... but that's given. Johns Hopkins is 50% 3.75+. If it was weighted there would be a 4.0+ category.</p>
<p>85% is what I saw on the North Carolina State page on collegeboard.</p>
<p>59% was on UC Irvine and 79% was on UC San Diego.</p>
<p>Is it true that 90+% of UC students (the 6 more popular ones) were in the Top 10% of their class?</p>
<p>ok well clearly that's weighted. technically they should be unweighted. </p>
<p>"Here's how you compare to the current freshman class's GPA ranges -- on a 4.0 scale."</p>
<p>Some are weighted, some aren't. You can usually tell. Like Princeton's, I'm sure, is UW while Stanford's is definitely weighted.</p>
