Weighted GPA good enough?

Applying to College

<p>Is a 4.5 Weighted GPA good enough to top tier schools
EX: Ivies, Wash U, Northwestern, Chicago, Vandy, Stanford...etc</p>

<p>Also, when recalculating weighted GPA, do I not take physical education, health, drivers ed, consumer education, and other minor electives into account?</p>

<p>It’s about rank, not GPA. Top schools want you to be very near the top of your class. A 4.5 means very different things at different schools.</p>

<p>Most top schools just look at your unweighted GPA since every school weights differently.</p>

<p>yea a 4.5 is good if you are class rank 1 or 2, but not so impressive if you are rank 15-20</p>
