GPA many questions...

Applying to College

<ol>
<li><p>Which is more important, Unweighted or weighted gpa?</p></li>
<li><p>I took art classes, and this lowered my weighted gpa. If I look on naviance, It looks like I got 6 Bs, when I really got 2. Is that bad because my weighted seems much lower than everyone elses.</p></li>
<li><p>I got those 2 Bs freshman year. How different is that than a 4.0? </p></li>
</ol>

<p>Also, I took the hardest classes and I’m looking at top 15 (though not really HYMPS), and I know that only princeton doesnt look at freshman.</p>

<p>I know GPA isn’t you whole application, so don’t say that.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Unweighted. Weighted GPA varies drastically by school.</p></li>
<li><p>You’ll be fine. You only have two Bs.</p></li>
<li><p>A few schools (like Princeton) don’t even consider freshman GPA.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Did you even read what I wrote? Not trying to be hostile here, but I said I already knew that Princeton doesn’t look at it, and I’m not that interested in it.</p>

<p>People argue about this. IMO UW GPA used in conjunction with the strength of schedule is more important. Colleges usually reweight GPAs.</p>
