<p>Doesn't matter how many APs he took, remember that even if ALL your classes were APs you'd have a maximum boost of 1.00. Aka a 4.00 UW with all APs is 5.00. It must be a very strange weighting system if you can somehow crease that. I'm not saying his weighted GPA is inordinately high, I'm saying it's impossibly high for his unweighted one unless his school bumps it up by 2.00 or 1.50 for AP classes or something.</p>
<p>Top-notch colleges can and will take into account weighted averages because it's the easiest and starkest way to factor in the difficulty of your course load. Of course, most of them recalculate it based on their own weighting scale to level the field of weird weighting by your HS. I don't know who told you that colleges will only look at your unweighted average, but whoever did is dead wrong.</p>
<p>Your SATI and ACT seem good. You will definitely have to raise your SAT subjects for sure. BTW, how did you manage to score a 780 on your SAT reasoning but a 640 on the Math II of the Subjects test? quite peculiar.</p>
<p>Also, please elaborate on your school's grading scale by listing your classes and their respective grades, as your UW GPA does seem unreasonable. I believe you meant a 3.9, as you are only top 10%. A 4.9 UW is really good, IVY league good. I was told that the UC's re-weight applicants' courses, as someone mentioned.</p>
<p>My UW GPA is 3.81 and my weighted GPA is off the charts.</p>

<p>This is my current grades history. Don't hate on me for my junior year because the difficulty from frosh and soph years was no way near the insanity of junior year. I was working 40 hour weeks at a restaurant (illegally, of course) during my soph year and pulling straight A's. I had almost no job during junior year and I was staying up all night half the time just to finish all the damn HW.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm ranked 17th in my class of 460 so I am realy Top 5%.</p>
<p>Great grades, good SAT's, and poor SAT II's. I think all schools are within range for you, I'm pretty sure you'll be in at UVA and UF. Gtown is a high match with Cornell and UCB being low reaches. I'd try to up those SAT II scores, especially the math iic. I think your math score is about average. Good luck though, you have a good shot at getting into many schools on your list.</p>
