UMiami Common Data Set

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if anyone knows if the Miami CDS is based on unweighted or weighted grades. How do the weigh the grades (if they do). The CDS states that 76% of students applied with a 3.75 gpa or above. Is this weighted or un?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that it is based on weighted GPA.</p>

<p>Thanks BaghDAD. Yes after a little research I am pretty sure they use the same weighing system as the Florida publics.</p>

<p>The definition in the GPA section (C11) refers to GPA “using 4.0 scale”, implying unweighted.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was always under the impression those numbers were for UN-weighted GPAs. But, I have no evidence or specific knowledge to back that belief up.</p>
