<p>Maybe I’ve been misled or have come to my own conclusions in that same area, but I also thought I noticed a trend in unweighted rank (which means ,unweighted gpa) importance.
I noticed it first when I began searching for scholarships. They all asked for g.p.a.s on a 4.0 scale. And I thought colleges asked for unweighted along with weighted in order to see how the school’s system influenced grade inflation. Also, I’m not sure if ranks (or like my school which doesn’t rank, deciles) are unweighted or weighted, or if it differs from school to school or college preference. I hope I helped shed some light on the subject. In any matter, it teaches us not to read your minds when we can simply ask. Hope you enjoyed your trip!</p>
