<p>“They only report the average of the unweighted accepted because of so many different weighted grading systems - it is nearly impossible to report weighted averages.”</p>
<p>-Right. No one can say which weighting system is fair, which is why they recalculate to unweighted lol</p>
<p>“But they certainly look at your weighted GPA and AP courses, and encourage a rigorous course load. Remember, USC looks at EVERYTHING to make an accepted student.”</p>
<p>-Yep, they’ll want to see that he/she has challenge himself/herself in light of opportunities presented.</p>
<p>@brilo66 Wow, sorry! For some reason, I read that you were a freshman! I really should be more careful. My bad. Well, as a rising senior, you have less room for changes to GPA/test score, but don’t stress too much anyways. Keep doing your best work, and when application season rolls in, try to present your app in the best light possible. You can always come here for further advice. :)</p>
