Weighted vs. Unweighted GPAs

<p>Which are colleges more concerned about? UW or W GPAs?</p>

<p>I am talking about Ivies and MIT + Stanford btw</p>

<p>Unweighted, I would believe, since the way GPAs are weighted and calculated depends on the specific school. The following is a decent read:</p>

<p>Besides, since “rigor of classes” is a considered part of your application, while “academic gpa” is another part, it makes sense to look at unweighted instead of weighted gpa.</p>
