Well the ones I am applying to are for seniors entering as freshmen. I think they ask for a 4.0 GPA unweighted scale becuase the applicants come from across the country and not everyone goes by the same scale. I know my cousins school go by a 4.0 unweighted while my school goes by a 5.0 weighted. It is easier to process applications on one consistant scale. I am applying to the private scholarships because for the majority of my schools that I am applying to, they automatically consider me for scholarships. My application turns into my scholarship application, like in the case for Georgia Tech and the presidential scholarship.
My SAT scores are 740 in math, 660 in reading, and 530 in writing (I know really low)
My act scores are 31 in math, 32 in science, 30 in reading, and 23 in writing (again really low)
I have also gotten National Hispanic Scholar
New England Mother: I am going to try to get that system to change because as of right now that scale is a school district policy. My councilor handed me the chart that they use to calculate the GPAs
