<p>And therefore, it is reflected with my gpa of 3.3, and test scores of 1300(converted to sat) .</p>

<p>Most people dont care about their gpa because its weighted so low by colleges.im afraid I might not get to where I want because of my gpa.</p>

<p>in my country it’s gpa 0%, five subject tests 20%, and a special admission exam depending on the school where you are applying (80%). actually this is for the mathematics/computer science school, the LESS competitive schools take GPA into account.</p>

<p>Interesting…In my country, transcripts are weighted about 70%, recommendations 30%, and standardized tests 0% (Go Canada!) This is only for selective universities though. Most are fully based on transcript alone.</p>
