[quote=Anonymous]Weighted GPA only matters in context of your own high school. Dean J and others have done detailed discussions on this: they can tell, from the school profile and prior years, what the WGPA means relative to peers. They know for example School A has a median graduating weighted GPA of 4.2, and they only admit from roughly the top 10% with top rigor, or 4.8+ with a VAL at 5.2(A+ in AP =5.5 at this school), whereas School B has a median Weighted of 3.9, the school is known to be very rigorous, so they take from roughly the top 20% with great rigor, which is 4.2+ with the VAL at 4.55. Context matters; AO's figure it out. A 4.35 is very impressive at school B and they might get into an ivy in addition to UVA in state, and will lead to rejection at UVA, WM, and maybe WL at VT at school A. [/quote]
