Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Unweighted GPA caps at 4.0 regardless of course difficulty. Weighted GPA adds bonus points for Honors (+0.5) and AP/IB (+1.0) courses, often capping at 5.0.

Do colleges prefer weighted or unweighted GPA?

Most colleges recalculate GPA using their own formula, but weighted GPA shows you took on more rigorous coursework, which is viewed favorably.

How do I enter course types?

Use "r" for Regular, "h" for Honors, and "a" for AP/IB — one letter per grade, comma separated, in the same order as your grades.
