<p>Hi guys ;)</p>

<p>I am planning to apply for UA. The application is very simple and you are finished pretty quickly. However I got 1 question about the section : High school, Misc information.
In this section I am supoosed to write down my GPA, class size and ranking.
But why the hell do I have 2000 characters available for each ? Am I supposed to write a whole text about my GPA ? I dont get it :D</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>Hi and welcome to the Bama forum!</p>

<p>Don’t worry about all that space. That extra space is there for people to explain a school’s unusual grading system. Some schools use a 6.0 scale or whatever. Some schools don’t use grades at all.</p>

<p>Some schools don’t rank, or only use deciles. Don’t worry. Just put in basic info and submit. </p>

<p>Also, please post in our Roll Call thread. I think you’re an int’l, so just put what country you’re from. Don’t worry about the “state” part.</p>
