<p>Does having an above-average weighted GPA (low 4s) make up for having a below-average unweighted GPA (low 3s)?</p>
<p>For example, in the NCSU pool… my unweighted GPA falls below the bottom 25% mark, my weighted is around top 30%… and my SAT is well above the top 25%…
and i believe that my ECs are well above average… and i did a lot of extra colllge work (correspondence, and in college, including independent study AP work)</p>
<p>the big gap between weighted and unweighted is explained by tons of AP classes in school and the low unweighted is explained by a horrible performance first semester sophomore yr on which i improved somewhat second semester sophomore yr and junior/senior year…</p>
<p>my rank is decent… top 25% at competitive school… the college rank average is much better, but most schools in my state are very uncompetitive…</p>
<p>So do you people think the weighted should make up for unweighted?</p>
<p>Do you think the following colleges care more about weighted more than unweighted:
- UNC
- NCSU
- Elon
- Guilford College
- Duke
- UNCG (my last resort)
- UNCW (also last resort)
- Wake Forest</p>
