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.

If you don't mind, what schools did you apply to? Mostly UC's (University of California) and Cal States. newmie66 Posted at 6:06 pm on June 25, 2009 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. iamsparta Posted at 12:10 pm on June 25, 2009 Quote: from JennyColada at 12:09 pm on June 25, 2009 I was ONLY asked for unweighted gps when I applied to schools.

Of course that may depend on different states and such... in sane x Posted at 12:07 pm on June 25, 2009 they shouldnt. bc the things u do in honors classes and AP other students would never be able to handle.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question though. I'm sure it varies from college to college. zamrambo Posted at 12:06 pm on June 25, 2009 They might, but weighted is there for a reason.
