GPA Data

The GPA data displayed in college profiles are sourced from Peterson's College Data (part of the Common Data Set). Some schools report a weighted GPA, while others report an unweighted GPA. The majority of schools report an unweighted GPA; however, if a school has reported a weighted GPA, college profiles will have an indicator to inform you.

Additionally, if a school has reported a weighted GPA and a weighted GPA has been logged to a student's profile page, in the "How do I match up?" section on student-specific college profiles and college profiles viewed via CustomCollegePlan, the saved weighted GPA value will be used in the comparison.

If no GPA data is listed on the college’s profile, this does not indicate that the GPA is not evaluated as part of the admission process. In some instances, a college may not report any GPA statistics as part of the survey with the Common Data Set.
