Colleges Accepting Weighted GPA [at face value from HS] for Merit/Admission

My D’s HS had a wonky grading scale. No differentiation between an honors and AP course in terms of weighted bump and a 92.5% was a B+ so a 3.3. It didn’t seem to negatively impact merit awards which I assumed was because the grading scale went with the transcript.

I would hope if universities start using AI to screen for GPA that they are savvy enough to program a system that reviews the grading scale too but maybe that is wishful thinking???
