Explanation: "Pesar", en estadística, es otorgarle PESO a un promedio. En tu caso para esta pregunta, el GPA, es decir el promedio ha sido pesado estadísticamente. Espero te ayude. Saludos desde Medellín.

Explanation: El GPA es el promedio de las notas que un estudiante ha sacado en todos sus cursos. Hay dos formas principales de calcular este promedio. En un "non-weighted GPA", sacar una nota de "A" ("sobresaliente") en un curso avanzado vale lo mismo que sacar una "A" en un curso muy difícil y avanzado. El "weighted GPA" es un promedio ajustado, que toma en cuenta la dificultad del curso. Por lo menos, así lo entiendo yo.

Corrijo la segunda oración que he escrito:
En un \"non-weighted GPA\", sacar una nota de \"A\" (\"sobresaliente\") en un curso básico vale lo mismo que sacar una \"A\" en un curso muy difícil y avanzado

Grade Point Average
The grade point average is a numerical value which is obtained by dividing the number of quality grade points earned by the number of quality hours attempted. This average, often called the index, is computed at the end of each term, both for the term and on a cumulative basis. The grade of A represents four points for each hour of credit; B+ three and one-half points; B three points; C+ two and one-half points; C two points; D+ one and one-half points; and D one point. No points are recorded for an F, although the hours attempted are included in the computations. No points are recorded for a P or NP, S or U, and the hours attempted are not included in the computations.
Suppose that a student has earned the following grades:
6 hours of A (equals 24 points)
3 hours of B+ (equals 10.5 points)
3 hours of C+ (equals 7.5 points)
3 hours of C (equals 6.0 points)
Then the semester average would be 3.2, which is the quotient obtained by dividing forty-eight (48) (the number of quality points) by fifteen (15) (the number of quality hours attempted).
