question about trascript

First, sorry if this is in the wrong section. I didn’t know where to put it.
My question is about what colleges see on transcripts. I’ve seen a copy of my transcript and it shows my weighted gpa, but unweighted rank. My weighted gpa is much better than my unweighted (more than an whole letter grade). I know that all of my grades are on there, but do they pay more attention to the gpa, or the actual grades? Or do they recalculate the gpa to see it unweighted?

Your HS will also provide a school profile which shows how GPA is calculated. Some schools will use the GPAs as provided, some will recalculate.
