<p>So today, about a month after I sent in the common application to a college, I reviewed it again and came across a mistake. I said that our high school used a 5 point GPA scale, but I now know that it uses a 4 point scale. How do I recover from this mistake? Should I a email the college's admissions office and explain the mistake? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about this and there is no need to reach out to schools to correct it. The scale will be clear on your transcript and in your counselor’s school report. Your self reporting of the scale is not critical to your application and it isn’t a big enough matter to mention.</p>
<p>Thanks so much niceday! That’s very reassuring :)</p>
