RE: The bold - Do you figure that yourself? Just curious, I've never seen anything like that on a transcript. But 99% of my recs come from only about 2 or 3 high schools.

Which begs the question, do college panhellenics use the weighted or unweighted version? Just curious. I know "gaming" the GPA system is an art form these days (for both college admission and for rush) so it just makes me wonder if everyone is on a level playing field in that respect.
