I have a weighted gpa of 4.4 and found out that my unweighted gpa was calculated to be 3.8, is this a bad thing?

Unless you’re applying to HYPSM-type schools, a 3.8 GPA is not at all bad. Even if you are applying to prestigious schools, a 3.8 is still pretty good, but depends on other factors such as course rigor, grade inflation, etc.

My ultimate goal is Yale

Okay, well for Yale you might be on the target/lower than the target. You’re not hopelessly out of the range. You should feel happy, you’ve accomplished a lot in high school. Just keep working hard!
