Common App Questions

For the grades section, would not filling out your GPA have any affect on admissions? Is it really necessary to fill out if your school sends transcripts?
Also for the current courses section, what classes should I report? Should I report only core classes like math and science or should I also report other classes like gym and theater? Also for the course name, if I am taking an AP class should I write AP in the course title or is it unnecessary since you indicate the course level in the same section?

–Fill out the GPA exactly as reported by your HS. You don’t want to come across as an applicant that can’t follow a simple instruction.
–Report all classes you are taking (core and non-core)

—My kids used the class title that matched the HS transcript.
