<p>My daughter's school gives you the choice of using weighted or unweighted gpa and rank.</p>

<p>Her unweighted gpa puts her rank higher than her weighted gpa. Her counselor says to use the weighted/lower rank gpa. I question that.</p>

<p>Which is better to use.
thanks</p>

<p>I would go with unweighted.</p>

<p>I would go with unweighted. Most institutions take the unweighted grades and apply their own weight to them anyway.</p>
