[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's Catholic school weights honors 4.5 and AP 5. But it doesn't matter because the colleges really don't care about weighted GPA. That's why when I hear people talk about 4.5 GPA, I know it really means nothing because many schools weight honors and AP 5, while others don't weight at all. You cannot compare GPAs accurately between different schools for a number of reasons, including the weighting.[/quote] Sorry but when you say ‘the colleges’ it sounds like you’re saying all. That’s just not true. Yes they have to deconstruct weighting in their own way due to differences in how high schools calculate, but they do weigh rigor, which for purposes here is most easily represented by weighted GPA. That’s my experience anyway. Also, class rank matters to many schools and many high schools rank by weighted GPA, so it’s baked into that metric. [/quote]
