<p>Are these ^ GPAs weighted or unweighted</p>

<p>And does this graph: <a href="http://admissions.psu.edu/info/counselors/bubble_chart06.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.psu.edu/info/counselors/bubble_chart06.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>show weighted or unweighted GPAs</p>

<p>Please, someone give me a correct answer, not an I think.</p>

<p>Because I myself think that the graph is weighted and the link on top says "4.0 scale"</p>

<p>LETS GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT</p>

<p>Check this thread out: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/602423-update-transcript.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/penn-state-university-park/602423-update-transcript.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The lady says that her daughter has a 3.3 uw and a 3.9 w with i think 1920 sats.
Mck2100 then says "those SAT scores and a 3.9 she really shouldn't be worried. most likely, she will get in" </p>

<p>So is it the weighted or unweighted? </p>

<p>Please someone give me a definitive answer?</p>

<p>It's weights...EVERYTHING penn state does is weighted as far as GPA goes! just look at the bubble graph the GPA goes up to 4.40</p>

<p>Dude, it's been straightened out a long time ago. PSU looks at weighted gpa's if you have one. If not, tough luck.</p>

<p>Really!, i didn't know it was straightened out already, I just couldn't find the answer and I searched the discussion boards for a while.</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>
