Unweighted of weighted on college's sites

Applying to College

<p>Whenever a college's site shows the average gpa of students admitted, is it weighted or unweighted?</p>

<p>For example, Penn State's site: Middle</a> 50% GPA & SAT Range - Penn State Undergraduate Admissions</p>

<p>Those values seem on the high end for Penn state to me.</p>

<p>I am going to apply for Fall 2009 and my uw is 3.44, the w is 3.95.</p>

<p>So can anyone tell me what the situation is?</p>

<p>I don't know what it is for most colleges but I am assuming it is unweighted- unfortunately.</p>

<p>For Penn state- for the stats you posted and website link- it is unweighted because it scaled it on a 4.0 basis( it says above). </p>

<p>Sorry to burst your bubble =(</p>
