<p>Searching this site, I see many people with weighted 4.4-4.6's but with an unweighted of 3.6-3.7. I don't understand the huge difference in weighted and unweighted gpa's. I have taken 5 ap classes from sophomore-junior year. My school doesn't have honors. The valedictorian this year(at my school ) had a 4.4 gpa and got accepted to Stanford. 3 students with 4.3 got into MIT. I know that UNC is a much lower level school compared to MIT and Stanford, yet people tell me that I don't have a chance at UNC because they average a 4.5 gpa. Please help me understand this!</p>
