<p>Yeah the 3.97 is definitely weighted, not sure what the unweighted amount would be, but most definitely higher than 3.11 by a bit. Plus you have to take into consideration things like:</p>
<p>–rigor of courses (APs? Accelerated?)
–rigor of grading (ex. at my HS an A was 94+ and a B+ was 90-93, so getting a 4.0 is harder than at other schools)
–amount of other activities going on that might hinder a high GPA</p>
<p>Just based on the post of OP, doesn’t seem like they have a good excuse for the low UW GPA</p>
