<p>I wasn't sure where to post this, so I guess I'll just post it here. Is weighted GPA more important than unweighted? Like, would a 3.8 UW and 4.4 W look better to colleges than a 4.0 UW and 4.2 W?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA is an attempt to standardize, so that in theory a 4.0 unweighted GPA is better than a 3.8 unweighted GPA. But it just isn’t that simple because course load is equally as important. </p>
<p>So someone that takes no honors or AP’s and has an 4.0 unweighted GPA is not likely to be considered a superior candidate to another applicant with all AP courses and a 3.8 unweighted GPA. </p>
<p>So I guess the answer is it depends.</p>
