<p>Which matters more? </p>
<p>Do unweighted 4.0's really matter that much? I've taken 27.5 courses and I've gotten 3 B's, the rest A's.. which gives me a 3.89. Is that really so bad? Will not having a 4.0 really hurt?</p>
<p>What's a typical good weighted average? If you have over a 5.0, should that suffice as a good enough GPA?</p>

<p>“Weighted GPA” means almost nothing in admissions, because there is no standard weighting system.</p>
<p>Not all colleges consider class rigor the same amount. At some it matters a lot; at some it matters little.</p>
<p>What do you mean by “typical” and “good” and “good enough”? Those terms are very subjective.</p>
<p>Unwieghed is more important in that it levels the playing field a bit, while the weighed GPA, like at my schools, is how the class rank is formulated. A 3.89 is great, not the best, but it will not prevent you getting in anywhere, except for the ultra-elite schools. Continue workign hard and try to get that GPA to the 3.9-3.95 level. :D</p>
<p>As said before, class rigor is very important, so keep that in mind. :)</p>
<p>Do senior year classes get added into your unweighted GPA?</p>
