Question 1

What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?

Accepted Answer

Unweighted: A=4.0 regardless of course difficulty. Weighted: AP / honors classes get a bonus (A in AP = 5.0). Most US colleges look at both but rank applicants by the weighted GPA reported by the school.

Question 2

What is cumulative GPA?

Accepted Answer

The GPA across all courses you've taken so far, not just one term. The tool calculates this automatically by summing weighted credits.
