<p>I'm sort of dissappointed on this question. Do they schools rank you based upon your UW GPA? If that is the case, how can one person taking orchestra/pre-algebra's and getting all A's be higher ranked than a person taking 8 APs and getting one B+ in one of them? Or do the schools include other factors except GPA?
Thanks!</p>
<p>yeah..thats pretty much how it works...which sucks butt</p>
<p>Mine is based upon weighted GPA and APs are weighted the most so basically whoever takes the most APs wins.</p>
<p>wow..ur lucky...they dont weight at my school, its soo annoying....people who take band, choir and art as three of their classes end up being val.</p>
<p>My school doesn't release rank, which irritates me, because I'd like to know, but I believe for valedictorian purposes and things like that they count weighted GPAs... not sure though.</p>
<p>All the schools I know do it by weighted GPA. It is only fair.</p>
<p>uw
and it SUCKS</p>
<p>My school uses weighted GPA, but only AP classes add weight; honors class are equal to non-honor.</p>
<p>wow some of ur schools are very unfair. we get points added for honors and AP and weighted gpa counts for rank.</p>
<p>Weighted for ranks, with only APs getting the extra Grade Point.</p>
<p>My school doesn't rank. </p>
<p>But our GPA is unweighted. I think colleges recalculate it and weight it, though.</p>
<p>unweighted, but I am currently #1 and take all the challenging courses (of which there are very few anyways) so it's fair! :D</p>
<p>ours is based on weighted gpa.<br>
i was #2 based on weighted, and #1 on unweighted (there could have been a tie for #1 since the val could also have gotten all a's. it is hard to get the exact same weighted gpa (thus no tie) because even if two people got all a's, they prob. didnt have the exact same ratio for honors/non-honors for 4 whole years - honors/APs are worth more)</p>
<p>We rank by weighted GPA.</p>
