<p>i know they look at all of your gpas but which one do you they really consider?</p>
<p>unweighted
academic unweighted
weighted</p>
<p>I've heard that UMich does it like this: All A range grades are a 4, all B ranges are a 3, all C ranges are a 2...</p>
<p>Not sure if all schools recalculate. Lots of them just look at your raw grades, without any numerical index. If they look at the one your school does, the most important are where you stand in percentile rank.</p>
<p>Most do. It makes it the easiest to compare GPA's, since different schools weight things differently.</p>
<p>do you know how most schools do it?</p>
<p>I know that a few that my d's looking at recalculate by only using core courses, i.e. math, science, english, history, foreign language. Everything else is kicked out, i.e. P.E., fine arts, various non-core electives. After that, .5 is added for honors and 1.0 is added for AP/IB. For my d her G.P.A. went up because the non-core courses were standard in designation so those 4.0 A's actually pulled down her weighted G.P.A. </p>

<p>what if your HS grades numerically out of 100? such as 96, 84 etc.</p>
