Well - every profile we filled out asked for the HS weighting.
But yes, some schools had you fill in a profile - a repeat of transcript - and would ask if it’s regular, honors, DE, or AP - and they weighted how they wanted.
But ‘most’ and she applied to 21 asked for the schools.
I believe the scale I gave is the most commonly used. Again, I get each school may have their own way. UCs have one way. AZ doesn’t use all classes, etc. But the method I provided appears to be most common and is an easy way to somewhat measure rigor in conversation.
You can tell a 3.5 and 3.6 won’t have much whereas a 3.9 and 4.6 will, etc.
He’s going to be asked - so he should be prepared.
