<p>Seems like any university that uses weighted GPA for admissions or merit scholarships should specify a weighting method (like what UC and CSU do) in order to make weighted GPAs more meaningful across high schools (how do you know what a 5.4 weighted GPA means?). But it appears that many do not.</p>
<p>It would also make more sense if class rank were determined using a consistent GPA calculation method. It is odd that Texas public universities do not specify to Texas high schools a GPA calculation method for class rank determination, since they use class rank but not GPA in their admissions process.</p>
