<p>Which do colleges look more heavily upon? Your weighted or unweighted GPA? Because I just realized that my high school sends both on the transcripts. I'm mostly curious about schools like UVA, McGill, Cornell, Dartmouth, Case Western, etc. Also on the websites and in the college guide books where they list the average freshmen GPA, would that be weighted or unweighted? Because I'm wasn't sure and people have told me different things.</p>
<p>Thanks so much.</p>
<p>Unweighted mostly, which I must admit, sucks</p>
<p>All high schools weight and don't weight their grades differently: it would be stupid for colleges to try and compare students with GPAs weighted differently - don't you think? Fortunately, however, colleges also understand that high schools grade classes differently, and consequently do not compare student 1 from HS A to student 2 from HS B.</p>
<p>I have a GPA of 3.36 with all honors and several AP's. Weighted is around a 3.67. So is that good? I'm a sophomore and I'm trying really hard to get it up for the next two years. I'll be taking 2 AP classes next year and 3 senior year with all honors. I'm pretty good with extracirculars (band, orchestra, volunteering work weekly, horseback riding, local clubs, french clubs). And I got a 24 on the PLAN with no reviewing. What are my chances? Any idea where I may be admitted? Where should I start looking? Thanks.</p>
<p>UCs calculate their own GPAs.</p>
<p>unweighted</p>
<p>unweighted or recalculated, in addition to the rigor of your courses</p>
<p>all high schools calculate gpa differently, so colleges recalculate everyone's gpa based on their own criteria. the gpa on the websites is THEIR gpa.</p>
