My daughter's school does the same. For a school like Bama it works in one's favor because they do not recalculate the weighted GPA and take it as stated by the high school. It doesn't work so well when the school recalculates- as is the case with the Florida public universities.

For entering freshmen, when GPA is reviewed for scholarships, will a weighted or unweighted GPA be considered?

If both are listed on the official high school transcript, the highest one will be reviewed.
