<p>@tawarren95: thank you soo much! so just to clarify, I should put 4.25 out of max possible 4.0?</p>
<p>If that’s the max, then yes! My weighted GPA goes over the max 4.0 on a 4.0 scale, too.</p>
<p>@DraconicSheep I emailed JAX and they confirmed that applications are due 11:59pm on Feb 2</p>
<p>@LK5</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>How are you guys submitting GPA’s if there are no places for you to put it? I only put in the fields where it asks about every math and science related course that I’ve taken in the past three years.</p>
<p>They ask for your current GPA right under Academic Information, above your list of science and math courses.</p>
<p>That doesn’t make sense to say that you have a 4.25 on the 4.0 max scale. If it is truly a “maximum”, you should say you got a 4.25 on the 5 scale. They know what that means.</p>
<p>@readyfor2014: uh oh… i already submitted my app! @tawarren95, how did you format your app?</p>
<p>… I hope this doesn’t hurt anything…</p>
<p>I don’t think it’ll kill you, but it definitely will seem like a typo. If you say that the max possible GPA is 4, they might be asking, how can he get a 4.25? They might find it suspicious, especially because we didn’t send transcripts.</p>
<p>On the other hand, 4.25 out of 4.0 would indicate 4.25 is the weighted GPA.</p>
<p>is it due 11:59pm eastern time?</p>
<p>never mind</p>
<p>Ah, I feel like such a procrastinator right now…just submitted my app!</p>
<p>I just finished the whole application all today, can’t believe I didn’t spend more time on it! Oh well, now the long wait until “late March”.</p>
<p>never mind</p>
<p>Well, I’m almost done with my “research interests” essay; I just have to cut it down to 1800 characters… Next up: narrative essay! I will finish this!</p>
<p>Hi I just submitted my application as well and I was wondering how late they would accept letters of rec. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>It DOES make sense that one could get a 4.25 on a 4.0 scale. Like someone else mentioned, they would (probably) take it as a clue that it’s weighted. A 4.25 on a 5.0 scale isn’t the same thing, the same way a 4.25 on a 6.0 scale is also different. Don’t sell yourself short. And if you’re ever applying and the system gives you an error, just put 4.0/4.0 and hopefully there’s a “weighted” option to choose. Either that or submit your unweighted.</p>
<p>If any application materials are going to be late, please send them an email and let them know. Don’t assume they’ll just shrug it off.</p>
<p>I submitted at 11:59 PM! Woohoo! I have this procrastination thing down to an art.</p>
