<p>Lol…Of course colleges care more about the thing that is harder to maintain. -_-</p>
<p>@chocolatemonster They usually look at unweighted because you can compare applicants better than using weighted because different schools and counties around the U.S. have different weighting systems for weighted GPA. A honor class at my school is weighted as a 4.0 if you get an A, but someone stated earlier that at their school their honor classes are weighted as 4.5 for an A.</p>
<p>weighted GPA is just for ranking in your school</p>
<p>^ yeah, at my school an A in a regular class is 4.0, honors class is 4.5, and AP is 5.0</p>
<p>@nivers what school do u go to?</p>
<p>Vernon Hills High School in a suburb called Vernon Hills near the city of Chicago, Illinois</p>
<p>Nice to see another person from suburban Chicago!</p>
<p>The top half of my class is really competitive, the bottom half does not care. So with almost a 3.9 I am only in the top 15 percent.</p>
<p>@GrammarNazi - What suburb are you from?</p>
<p>I know I can’t possibly be the only African-American person of the Class of 2014.</p>
<p>Nivers: Plainfield, as my location says.</p>
<p>Finally got my AP exam scores back, I’m so happy! I got 5’s on all three tests - Microeconomics, Macro, and English Lit. I can’t believe it!</p>
<p>^ Wow! Nice. I can’t stand economics lol.</p>
<p>@SirSamAlot You are not the only African American person of the Class of 2014</p>
<p>@SirSamAlot I’m black!</p>
<p>@grammarNazi - lol I just looked up Plainfield in google maps. It’s just below Naperville. I have family friends in Naperville, but it’s an hour drive almost from Vernon hills, which is further north.</p>
<p>I get excited when I meet another Illinois person. -_-</p>
<p>I’m black, too, SirSamAlot.</p>
