The colleges that my son has applied to so far ask the guidance counselor for weighting information on the high school profile form. I’ve heard that they have their own formulas so that they can compare apples to apples. His school weights IB courses with an extra point, but only if you take the IB exams. If you don’t take the test, you get the usual 4.0 scale.
