I'm pretty sure that this is true. Less than half of the schools I applied to even asked for unweighted GPA. This is probably because different schools calculate these things differently. I don't have any firsthand knowledge of selection criteria, but I bet most colleges look more at your whole transcript than any numbers that your high school churns out based on your transcript.
