[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this matter? Do colleges even consider the weight or do they recalibrate based on a 4.0 scale?

Asking because there seems to be a lot of inconsistency in which classes are weighted, if any, based on specific school and district.  Ours doesn’t weight any honors classes.  Only AP classes.  Plus we don’t have fluff AP classes like AP precalc (since when did precalc become AP??). [/quote]

I believe that if you search for Holy Cross admissions on youtube you will find a video where they show you the exact screen that an admissions officer would see when evaluating applications.  They also explain how that software is programmed to take into account different grading scales.  [/quote]

+1 the program is called Slate and it takes into account grading scales, different weights, etc. The majority of competitive schools (T100) also consider rigor when reading the transcript and Slate can arrange classes according to each HS's school academic/class profile to help AO's quickly assess the transcript.
