<p>A basic general question! Do the top universities look at the unweighted GPAs or the weighted GPAs considering higher weights for Honors and/or AP courses.. </p>
<p>would appreciate advise..</p>
<p>Thanks - RK1</p>
<p>Usually they will specify which form they want. Most often I see them specifying unweighted GPA. They will take your honors and AP classes into account when they actually look at your transcript.</p>
<p>If you do put weighted GPA, make sure to note that. Also you might want to describe the weighting if your school does alternative weightings.</p>
<p>yeah, most schools are pretty transparent on what they'll do with your GPA. if it's not on their website, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a phone call. </p>
<p>don't worry about it too much though. if you have a strange situation, just include a note on your transcript. my school decided to remove weights/bumps from all AP and honors classes this year (and not adjust previous years accordingly). all I did was include a note somewhere on the MIT app.</p>
