Unweighted vs. weighted GPA

<p>When Brown evaluates an application, do they convert all the GPAs to unweighted? Thoughts…?</p>

<p>I think just about every college calculates their own gpa (taking into account the difficulty of the courses) from your grades.</p>

<p>When colleges calculate their own GPA, it essentially becomes weighted, but probably a little differently from the way it's done at your school.</p>

<p>Anyone know how it's like for intls? Do they calculate a GPA?</p>

<p>I think it depends on what program you're doing. For example if you're doing the IB I think they just look at your actual grades, Ivy's will want 6's and 7's. But I'm not sure how they will actually see them in terms of A's and B's because a 7=A*.</p>
