Application mistake, please help?

Applying to College

<p>Hi everyone, I made a big mistake and need to know if it's going to be a problem.</p>

<p>I went to the guidance office at my school to ask them what my GPA was, so I could put it on my Common App. Apparently I had a 3.57 Unweighted, so I put that in. Ive already submitted my app to at least one college, but I just realized that that was my GPA for this semester only, not my cumulative one. </p>

<p>It really sucks because I'm sure my actual GPA is higher than that, at least my Unweighted should be at least a 4.3, while now its not even a 4 I think.</p>

<p>First, was I supposed to put my Cummulative GPA? Im assuming I was, but if I already did it right, then this isn't an issue. Second, If I was supposed to, is there any way I can notify them that I need to change that detail, or will they notice it once they get my official transcript, or what?</p>

<p>Don’t worry. They will look at your transcript. That’s why they don’t even need you to input
all grades and classes one by one just like uc or state u do. If they find something major they need to calrify, they will contact your school conselor directly</p>

<p>Yes, the colleges rely upon the counselor-provided GPA, not the self-reported one. You might just send a polite email to admissions noting that you accidentally reported the wrong number. I think it would only be an issue if you reported a GPA that was much higher than what they school reported to them, and they think you are trying to con them.</p>
