Weighted vs. Unweighted GPA?

<p>I heard that on the Common App, you have a choice between submitting your weighted and your unweighted GPA. Is this true? If so, how much does it even matter? I also heard that colleges often recalculate whichever one you submit, so they can see both types of GPA. Can anyone assess the validity of this?</p>

<p>Colleges will get what they need from your transcript. For the CommonApp, just put down what you think looks best, no one will pay much attention to it.</p>

<p>Some colleges will recalculate. UW GPA usually matters more.</p>
