<p>colleges dont really look at your weighted GPA right?
and the school rank is based on the unweighted cumulative gpa. </p>
<p>so what's the point of the weighted gpa?</p>
<p>So schools can rank you based on rigor of your courseload, I'm guessing.</p>
<p>I think school rank is based on weighted GPA due to more tougher courseload.</p>
<p>I think that colleges use there own system to rank/weight stuff, not the ones given by HS or applicants. That gives them a consistent comparison. Plus they use the school's profile in determining the quality and any eventual ranking.</p>
<p>so would the colleges consider AP classes into a factor when they see not so steller grades? i'm doing fine this year, but i had a C in US History I during my sophomore year.</p>
<p>Weighted GPAs are so neurotic suburban parents can score points off each other, but you didn't hear that from me.....</p>
<p>the most important part of your application to the yale adcom is CLASS RIGOR. so yeah, that's what weighted gpas are for. and to calculate rank.</p>
