<p>Quick question. </p>
<p>Do colleges place more emphasis on weighted GPA over unweighted, the other way around, or about the same? Thanks </p>
<p>Both are important. If you get a high weighted with low unweighted, that means you didn’t do well in your rigorous classes. If you get a high unweighted with low weighted, you didn’t challenge yourself or were lazy. Best scenario is high in both types. However, I might hesitantly assert that unweighted is slightly more important, because some schools treat weighted GPA differently than others (it’s not standard).</p>
<p>Colleges will likely not use your WGPA. Most will either make their own computation or use your UWGPA and eyeball your class rigor.</p>
