Weighted class rank vs unweighted class rank?

<p>Ugh, my school now lists BOTH. I should finish as #1 weighted out of 550, but it looks like I could be #20 unweighted rank because of kids who don't take APs and never get 'B's... </p>

<p>Which one matters more?</p>

<p>Weighted, most definitely.</p>

<p>Will they even look at unweighted rank?</p>

<p>Maybe, but in your case the weighted GPA/rank combo will show that you took a more challenging coarse load, which is extremely better than taking easy classes and getting a 4.0.</p>

<p>So will the unweighted rank still hurt me? :O</p>

<p>Adcoms will look at your schedule for how difficult it is in addition to your grades.</p>
