Ariesrising, using Irishpipes' explanation, "weighted" GPA uses the weighted values (5 or 6 for an A) when calculating GPA, and "unweighted" GPA means all A's are worth 4 pts, regardless of the type of class. All B's, C's, D's etc....would be worth the lesser value, and the two GPAs would be quite different. Some colleges will list your unweighted high school GPA on your college transcript, sometimes saying it is a way of making it "fair" for everyone, but those who take the heavy classes know that those extra quality points are earned.

If a PNM lists the weighted GPA for Recruitment, and the college doens't recognize that, then the "corrected", or unweighted GPA will be written in.
