To report or not to report...

<p>So I've had a somewhat average academic record. A lot of A's and a lot of B's.</p>

<p>For my Junior year, I'd say it's an even ratio of 4 A's to 3 B's.</p>

<p>One thing I don't really like about GMS is that it doesn't let you state whether it's a B+ or a B.</p>

<p>If I put B, they'll just think it's an 80, when in reality it's probably an 89.</p>

<p>That's sort of off-topic though.</p>

<p>Right now, as a senior, I have all A's in my class, but these aren't the FINAL grades.</p>

<p>So should I report as per my last report card or should I just do that "NOT REPORTED" thing.</p>

<p>Past scholars, what did you do?</p>

<p>I put everything as per my last report card to be safe. For example, I knew that the grades I had gotten in my second term would probably change my GPA very slightly, but since they weren’t final/official grades yet, I didn’t include them. You probably don’t want them seeing your transcript and noting that there is a discrepancy between your unofficial grade on the application and your transcript, if that ends up happening. Just to be safe.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t worry, because GMS isn’t hugely gpa-based</p>

<p>Awesome, I think I’ll just do that not reported thing, thank you!</p>
