<p>I just searched on the internet that most colleges do not even look at your weighted GPA, but I do not even know what is my unweighted GPA, even my transcript states that GPA.
Does American University in DC look at unweighted GPA? </p>
<p>I have a 3.8 weighted, and I’m currently a junior taking 2 AP’s and 1 AP last year in a Northern Fairfax high school [which is in the top 100 of high schools in the US, also my school does not offer AP’s in 9th grade and one major AP in tenth grade (besides AP Spanish and French and AP Comp Sci)].</p>
<p>My county school system offers this program online called Family Connection and it shows your weighted GPA, SAT scores, colleges people applied to from my school etc… and it shows scatter plots of colleges and says since I have a 3.8 and a 2080 on my SAT (which i am retaking soon), my scores make it possible for me to go to American University- which is my top choice.
Please Help! 
I also take mostly all honors courses.</p>
<p>American looks at whatever your school reports. Most applicants report weighted GPA, thus, about a quarter have GPAs over 4.</p>
<p>You probably can calculate your own GPA unweighted. Just use the A=4 points, B=3 points, etc., method.</p>
<p>Thanks DeskPotato, do you think other colleges would accept my weighted GPA if they want a 3.75?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t get too hung up on your specific GPA. We are also in Fairfax County and I’m helping my 2nd child navigate this admissions process. Having listened to several panels of admissions counselors and attended a number of college info sessions, they all say that you need to concentrate of putting together a comprehensive application and not worry about a specific number or some kind of non-existent GPA “threshold.” They will look over your whole transcript, evaluating your grades in your core academic classes and noting how challenging your course load is in relation to the classes available at your high school. Remember that those Family Connection graphs are only representative of the students from your high school that graduated and applied last year. While they are helpful in letting you know if you are on the right track, they only tell part of the story. </p>
<p>Also, we were told that schools who want to know your unweighted GPA will re-calculate it themselves, but they are mostly concerned with your grades in your core academic classes. Good luck!!</p>
