My son’s guidance counselor told me that most competitive colleges do not take the HS weighted GPA verbatim, they recalculate a weighted GPA themselves based on the courses and their own weightings. I asked at one school, which confirmed this. In fact, at that school they had their own little wrinkles beyond that; eg they excluded freshman grades.

I’ve no idea what Cornell CALS does.
