I’m not sure what you are asking. Weighted gpa is meaningless because every school does their grading/weights differently. What’s the highest gpa available at your school? What’s your unweighted gpa?

Also #10 out of how many? Decile may be more useful.

In any case, no matter if you were #1 in your class, MIT is a reach for every student. Treat it as such.

My unweighted percentage GPA is currently a 93.3. My school doesn’t give us our GPAs on the 4.0 scale but according to the guidance counselor’s conversion table, that would mean my unweighted GPA is a 4.0/4.0. I’m currently a junior, so I’m estimating my rank to be around #10.

10 out of around 600.

Would MIT have equal consideration for #1 and #10 if my unweighted GPA is a 4.0?
