<p>Our school doesn’t weight on transcript and does rank - although they “say” the ranking is weighted on the transcript so go figure. it would take a math genius to figure out the calculation. They claim UofM “likes” to see it this way. Which kind of makes sense. UofM has historically just wanted GPA on a straight 4.0 scale but also likes to know where the kids line up in the class based on rigor which is what our “system” does. Personally I think ranking the kids is a stronger signal of their caliber in context which could potentially help some and potentially hurt some unfortunately.</p>
