<p>Actually, I don’t think Unweighted vs. Weighted is so important. UGA has its own way of calculating GPA which is explained here… <a href=“http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/2009/07/gpas-grades-and-reality.html[/url]”>http://ugaadmissions.blogspot.com/2009/07/gpas-grades-and-reality.html</a></p>
<p>I know this post is old, but every time people ask Dr. Graves a question about calculating GPA, he sends them back to this post.</p>
<p>Here is the important paragraph: “UGA re-calculates all high school GPA’s, and it is based upon the individual grades (be it semester, trimester, full year, etc.) in all the academic classes based upon the grading scale at that school. In addition, we add .5 weight to every individual AP or IB grade (unless a weight has already been added to the individual grade), and calculate a GPA based upon a 4.00 scale. Every A is worth 4 points, every B is 3 points, etc. As I said before, our goal is to review everyone on a level playing field.”</p>
