weighted and unweighted grades

<p>is weighted when they add aps as 5 points for A? and nonweighted, like 4 points for A in an AP?
im scared cus alotta people are doing weighted and unweighted grades, but my friend told me uc's look for unweighted grades.
otherwise, my unweighted could be fairly lower than weighted..</p>

<p>A complicated system, which depends on the school you go to, how they grade, the strictness of grading, district policy, applying college policy. For UCs, they weigh courses for AP classes and certain honors courses. If you are a California resident, look up your school in the UC doorways thing. It shows which courses are weighted. UCs look at the UC weighted system.</p>
