Method for Unweighted GPA?

Applying to College
1

<p>At my school our GPA is weighted by increasing the GPA of a grade earned in an AP class by a factor of 1.1. My friend told me that the way colleges calculate unweighted GPA is by removing that AP weighting, but that they also get rid of the +'s and -'s on our grades. (For example, A- becomes an A, and a B+ becomes a B)</p>

<p>Do all colleges really do this? If not all colleges, do any do this? Or is my friend just full of it?</p>

<p>Your friend just randomly made something up.
They accept your GPA, WGPA, and rank as reported.
Some colleges do recalculate GPA for their own purposes, but every university has their own method.</p>
