Collegevine profiles wants your Unweighted GPA on a 4.0 scale if possible.

That way it's easier for the chancing database to normalize all GPA data collected from admitted students and compare them to your GPA.

If they collect anything but the unweighted GPA some students who otherwise would have the same GPA would have say a 4.5 or 5.7 depending on what scale their school uses to weight honors, APs and IBS. And you can't assign proper probabilities if you are not comparing "apples to apples".

Good luck.
