<p>Below I have pasted what is posted on the Auburn FAQ about GPA for scholarships. I have to say it totally confused me, so I called and got even more confused! My D’s school weights, so that a 100 in AP = 6.0, a 100 in regular class = 5.0, and a 90 in regular is 4.0. The lady I called said they would just use the weighted GPA, whatever it is. But this seems to contradict the statement from the website (or my cluelessness is showing - highly possible):</p>
<p>"How does Auburn calculate high school GPA for the purpose of awarding scholarships to incoming freshmen?
Auburn accepts the high school GPA as indicated on the official transcript from the high school, provided the GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale. Auburn does not automatically recalculate all high schools GPAs. Transcripts with GPAs weighted at the high school level are accepted and encouraged. High school transcripts are evaluated by Admissions Processing. If the GPA on the transcript is calculated on a 4.0 scale, Admissions Processing records the GPA as it appears on the transcript. If both a weighted and unweighted GPA are provided on a 4.0 scale, Auburn will record the weighted GPA. If the GPA is provided as a numerical percentage on a 100 point scale or as a number on any other scale, Admissions Processing will re-calculate the GPA as an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale. </p>
<p>If a student attends a high school whose system does not provide a weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, the high school may include a cover letter with the transcript indicating the student’s weighted GPA."</p>
