<p>Hey, does anyone know if the GPA ranges here (Applicant</a> Profile : Stanford University) are for unweighted GPA or weighted GPA? It does say 4.0 and above, which would probably indicate that it's for weighted GPA, but only 67% of admitted applicants with a 4.0 weighted GPA or greater seems kind of low for Stanford. Thanks in advance to anyone who might know! :)</p>
<p>I’ll go out on a limb here and guess that…</p>
<p>4.3 = A+ Average
4.0 = A Average
3.7 = A- Average
etc.</p>
<p>That’s how they do it at my high school. The valedictorian has around a 4.15.</p>
<p>in otherwords, the best of the best</p>
<p>Athletes generally have much lower gpa’s and sat’s than anyone else. However, I know 2 kids from one school in NorCal that got in with gpa’s of 3.2 (weighted), only a couple of AP’s and SAT’s in 1800’s. Go figure…</p>
<p>the applicant profile does report weighted gpas. not all schools weight gpas. not all schools are equally difficult. there are schools where a 3.5 is harder to obtain than the 4.875 gpa some kid from a “competitive” public school got.</p>
<p>How does admissions differeentiate from that stuff?</p>
<p>By class rank.</p>
<p>If you’re 1/500 with a 3.5 W GPA, the school knows somethings up.</p>
