<p>Unfortunately, when colleges look at your grades, they won’t be thinking “hmm, according to this school’s weighting system this student is better than others we have admitted”, because colleges consider your weighted GPA only to the extent that it affects your reported class rank. They will be thinking “hmm, this student is taking a challenging courseload, but he is also getting Bs in most of his classes”. </p>
<p>If your high school is as good as you describe, you certainly have a chance at the top universities. But I wouldn’t EXPECT to get into Cornell and Hopkins just because the same weighted GPA as you has gotten others in.</p>
