I only know my weighted GPA! Do not have a unweighted GPA

<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.</p>

<p>Also do colleges overseas (particularly in the UK), use my unweighted or weighted GPA?</p>

<p>American: Low match</p>

<p>Catria, what do you mean by American is a low match?</p>

<p>On websites like family connection they only display the weighted GPA because it’s an unofficial transcript. When the school sends the transcript to colleges the weighted and unweighted GPA will be sent :slight_smile: American could look at just UW or both or they could recalculate…every school does something different pretty much</p>

<p>My son’s official transcript only shows weighted gpa. We had to manually calculate his unweighted gpa to find the best matches for him. There are oodles of calculators online to help you with this.</p>

<p>My school said they only send out my weighted GPA, and the colleges will calculate my unweighted if they want to. My school also sends out a basic info of Fairfax County showing how good my school is…</p>
