First, weighted GPAs are used for weighted classes. These classes are the honor-type, higher-level classes (also assumed to be more difficult) having bigger worth than your regular class subjects (unweighted classes).
If your school does not weight, then they use that. It may seem unfair, particularly to students whose schools do not weight the GPA, but that is what Auburn does. They do not recalculate your GPA, unless your school uses something besides a 4.0 scale. In that case, Auburn will recalculate your GPA on an unweighted 4.0 scale. We know this from experience. My son's school used a weighted 7 point scale. His transcript also displayed an unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale. We had to ask his school to recalculate his GPA on a weighted 4.0 scale (similar to the other high schools in our district), specifically to meet Auburn's scholarship requirements. Without it, he would have not received his scholarship.
