what my unweighted GPA is?

Ok, I'm in all AP/Honors classes. At my school, you get 5 extra points for being in AP/Honors classes.

My weighted GPA is 3.7, currently, whereas my unweighted is quite a bit lower.

However, on official transcripts, we just get numeric averages, with the 5 points already added in.

Will colleges know about this? Obviously, I'd rather tell the my weighted gpa. From the stuff I've gotten, they ask for either.

They might, but weighted is there for a reason.

My school doesn't give us any extra points for AP classes.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question though.
I'm sure it varies from college to college.

they shouldnt. bc the things u do in honors classes and AP other students would never be able to handle.
So it wouldnt be fair to compare your unweighted average which could be lower than people who r in regular classes . its completely different curiculum.
at least in my school it is. im in honors too

My high school was completely unweighted and I was never asked once about weighted or unweighted GPA scores. Of course that may depend on different states and such...

I was only asked for unweighted GPA's. Not every school offers the opportunity to take AP classes so it would be unfair not to look at your unweighted.
