Hi everyone, I need some help here. I applied to a school back in like September, and after thinking about it I realized I may have put the wrong GPA scale on my application. I had a 4.86 weighted GPA, so I assumed it was out of a 5.0 scale. Turns out it’s either out of a 6.0 or even a 7.0 scale. I don’t want to come across as dishonest, so what should I do about this? I’m super stressed and I want to get into this school so badly.
Ask your school counselor. At our school a weighted GPA is still only out of a 4.0 for the common app purposes. They give all the seniors a form with all the information to use on the common app, so you may have actually put too high of a number.
