<p>Is GPA scale based on the highest course or normal course? My school offers 5 for APs and 4 for regular classes, and I reported my GPA as 4.3/5 as opposed to 4.3/4 on the Common App. Is this correct? If not, should I contact the admissions offices to correct?</p>
<p>Okay, I have learned that schools that offer the 5.0 scale for only APs should be reported on a 4.0 scale. Should I contact each admissions office to let them know of the error?</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated… I just don’t know if this error will be disregarded due to transcript or if it will affect if the colleges will automatically convert my reported score to a 4 point scale (which would result in a lower GPA). I’ve seen conflicting responses elsewhere. </p>
<p>Don’t bother. Your transcript and HS profile will have all the info the colleges need for that.</p>
