GPA Scale

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

I put that the GPA Scale is out of 5.0. I thought this would be the case because our school does weighted. Turns out, it’s 4.0 and now I look like I have wayyy lower grades than I actually do, based on my GPA.

My transcript and everything is accurate tho… would this affect my admissions in any way? I just emailed all the colleges, no response yet ofc but has this happened to anyone before where you made a mistake in your application? How did it work out?

This is for both Common and Coalition, btw.

Your high school likely sends a school report along with your transcript, and that would have exactly this kind of information on it. You’ll be fine. You did what you could by emailing, and the school report will back you up. I wouldn’t give it another thought.

Don’t worry about it, the AOs are only going to look at your transcript and HS profile, not the common app gpa scale. I would not email the AOs about this again.

Good luck.
