unweighted gpa or weighted gpa more important?

<p>what's more impt. to stanford? unweighted gpa or weighted? <a href="http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2007/april4/admits-040407.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2007/april4/admits-040407.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>i ask this question bc. the article from the link above says 75% had g.p.a of 4.0 or above.</p>

<p>I believe they will unweight your GPA in the process of recalculating it. So, whether or not you GPA is weighted or not doesn't matter: chances are, it will be different from the GPA they assign you. But then again, I might be wrong.</p>

<p>They use your unweighted GPA in your core academic subjects- math, english and the like.</p>

<p>ok, so how is it possible for over 75% to have a 4.0 or above unweighted gpa?</p>

<p>I think that's unweighted they're talking about.</p>

<p>they mean they weight it but only on core subjects and on there own fixed weighting scale.
-they throw out classes like health</p>
