well it would make sense that your college gpa carries more weight than your high school gpa, because during freshmen admissions your high school gpa is used to predict whether you will be successful at college or not (not that it is always a true reflect of your capabilities.)

are you a high school student?

also, there are colleges that practice grade deflation and inflation. Uchicago is notorious for grade deflation. But you also have to keep in mind that alot there is much more competition in college, especially if you attend a top hardcore academic based university, than high school.

I know many people who did excellent on the sat/acts and did great in high school, but their performance is mediocre in college; but then there are also many who do not perform well in highschool, but has managed to pull off an amazing grade in college.

the point: high school gpa and sat/acts scores aren’t always definite or absolutely accurate indicators of a person’s soon to be undergrad career.
