Weighted GPA?

OP: As indicated in previous posts, colleges know how to do this and, in fact, have been successfully converting your transcript into an unweighted GPA – and sometimes an approximately class rank – for many decades. The university’s Regional Admissions Officer is familiar with your secondary school and annually receives a “profile” from your Guidance Department. That profile, among many other things, allow the admissions office to correlate your GPA into a “close approximate” class rank (if that is needed or desired).

In sum, you need not worry about any of this. Your transcript is all that is required; the institutions will perform any “manipulations” needed once it is received. Obviously, your concern and your responsibility – and it is CRITICAL – are the grades and the curricular rigor conveyed in your transcript.
