<p>So i have started my applications and many of them ask me to give a gpa.
i was planning to send a updated transcript after my 1st trimester of high school to up my gpa but wanted to send in apps early.
i wanted to send the apps early then wait til december to send the transcripts so my gpa includes my first trimester grades.
Does the gpa on the app have to match the transcript gpa. do colleges look at the app gpa or the transcript gpa.
if colleges receive my app early and my transcript later which gpa will they look at or will they realize my gpa on my transcript is my real gpa not the one on the app</p>
<p>can someone explain to me how this works. thank you</p>
