<p>When Brown sends your transcript, they also send a letter something like this:
<a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/documents/GPA_Statement.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/documents/GPA_Statement.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>You can calculate your own GPA if you like, or the employer / school can calculate it themselves based on your grades.</p>

<p>usually, for grad school and employers you calculate an "unoffical GPA" that is unweighted and based upon the classes you took for a grade. this system works very well for brown students and holds up all the impressive stats brown boasts</p>

<p>(goldman sachs is the number one employer, 100% of students can into one of their top three choices for business school, 90% for law school, med school, etc.)</p>
