Weighted vs Unweighted

<p>Just wondering... what do most colleges usually place more importance on, weighted or unweighted GPA? I'm curious because I go to Grade Deflation High and I take almost all APs, and my unweighted GPA is horribly low (around 3.0 for this year). However, my weighted GPA is pretty decent (3.8-3.9ish). </p>

<p>Also, will colleges compare your standardized test scores with your GPA to see if there's any grade deflation? Because I see tons of people on this site who have ~4.0 UW GPAs and low standardized test scores (example: 600s on SAT IIs, 3s or 4s on AP tests, less than 2200 for SATs).</p>

<p>It depends on the college, but I’d say weighted.</p>
