<p>This is a horrendous mistake! On one of my top school supplement, I did not check the "international student agreement" box! It wasn't a required part, but it seems important. It is an agreement between international applicants and the university that they will not be able to receive federal aids and that if they choose to apply for financial aids, their financial needs will be taken into consideration for final admission decision. Also, it was an agreement that if international students do not intend to apply for aids, they will not be able to apply for aids at anytime during their undergraduate years. Do you think not checking this agreement box will affect my chance? (However, I did check the box on the future plan section that I do not intend to apply for aids) What should I do?</p>
<p>anyone here has made a similar mistake ?? I am very worried …</p>
<p>Email the college right now</p>

<p>Yeah I was planning to do so, but the problem is that Stanford’s admissions office is extremely busy right now. I am not exactly sure if informing them would worsen the situation or not… What do you think? From the given information, do you think the agreement is a crucial part of the application ??</p>
<p>No it’s not important. Relax. The worst that can happen is that they might contact you and say “you forgot to check the box” then give you instructions to remedy it. YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! ! ! ! ! !</p>
<p>Thankyou, Perseverance! I feel much better now. Thanks for your reply.</p>
<p>Should I still attempt to email the admissions office or call them to show that I at least try to correct a mistake? I did not intend to make such a mistake at all (anyway, no one intends to make a mistake after all) … I know this sounds like a panic… but there were many typos on the application as well … even one of my supplemental essay was shortened in the commonapp … I did check it before I submitted but after submitting the application, I found out later that the last word “myself” was cut to “mys.” They would still probably figure that out, but it certainly disconcerts me …</p>
<p>Hi again … </p>
<p>I really need your help here…
I currently got a cumulative GPA of 3.9 (scale: 4) but on the commonapp, I reported that it is a weighted GPA, because that is what my high school told me. However, after reading carefully the meaning of the unweighted GPA, I think that my GPA is actually unweighted not weighted. A B in an AP class does bring my grade down significantly. And a B in an AP class is not equivalent to an A in a regular class. Thus, is it supposed to be called “unweighted” ? In my school, no one has ever got more than an average of 4.0 GPA as the maximum is 4. A+=4, A=4, A-=3.7. 1.5 credits are given to an AP class, while only 1 credit is given to a regular class. Does this mean my GPA is weighted or unweighted? I am worried and confused right now because I have already submitted all my applications. It would be hard to change anything. My counselor is going to submit a mid year report soon. The only thing I can do is to ask him to reflect this on my behalf, but he told me that it is weighted for sure. But I do not completely understand how it can be weighted… Since I have already submitted my transcript, will the universities know that my GPA is actually unweighted from looking at my transcript? (my transcript doesn’t say if my GPA is weighted or unweighted)
Is there anything I could do? Will this affect anything?
3.9 on a weighted scale is considered a low GPA so it will misrepresent my actual performance at my school. </p>
<p>I appreciate your replies.
Thanks</p>
