3.0 is pretty low for Rutgers, but if your SAT scores are very high, there might be a chance.
it shouldn't affect your unweighted GPA, as long as your weighted GPA is higher than a 4.0 then your unweighted stays a 4.0 (hopefully this makes sense)

Well at my school a weighted GPA goes up to 5 and an unweighted GPA goes up to 4. It might vary depending on the school
They will almost always tell you if you look hard enough on the application or call someone at the college. Most schools want your unweighted GPA, although many will look at both.
no
There are two types of GPAs that high schools can report to colleges. Depending on your high school, your transcript can report a weighted GPA or an unweighted GPA (or both). Check with your guidance counselor if you're unsure of your school's policy.A weighted GPA is going to give you brownie points for challenging yourself with harder classes. For example, Advanced Placement and Honors classes are generally more difficult and demanding than Academic classes are. Therefore, many schools offer an extra quality point that can be added to the GPA to "make up" for the difficulty. For example, a "B" in an AP class may be translated into an "A" in an academic class, based on a weighted GPA. Weighted GPAs can also factor in any +'s you might have. For example, an A+ would be given extra points over an A.An unweighted GPA however strips all these brownie points away and leaves you with exactly what you've earned in your classes. A B is a B is a B, according to an unweighted GPA, and an A+ becomes a regular A. In the American education system used by most high schools, the highest unweighted GPA is a 4.0. (Weighted varies widely).SAMPLE GPA SCALEGrade Earned/ UW GPA/ W GPAA....................4.0...........5.0B....................3.0...........4.0C....................2.0...........3.0D....................1.0...........2.0F................No credit......1.0It's important that you challenge yourself with AP/Honors classes. The weighting can really help out your GPA. You should be warned though, most colleges will recalculate weighted GPAs on their own scale (which is always unweighted).
If you mean UConn I'd say a 3.25 unweighted GPA and a 4.25 weighted QPA would be more than enough...
possibly.... depends heavily on your SAT scores though
College prep courses are not weighted, so your gpa, both weighted and unweighted, is a 3.34. The only way to get above a 4.0 is to take either honors or AP classes. If its bad or not depends on what kind of school you want to go to, and remember, colleges don't only look at gpa, they also look at standardized test scores (SAT and ACT) and extracurriculars.
poor.
It depends on your professor's standards, an "A" can vary between 90-100 and a weighted class is worth more. Your 97 is probably an A and if the class is weighted then that translates to a 5.00, if it is unweighted then it is counted as a 4.00.
If it is based on a 100% scale, yes, it is a good GPA.
