Hello! I'm an international student from S.Korea.
I have an one year elder who applied US universities via Common App. Teachers who helped him to apply told me that my counselor should report GPA using online converter. But what I've heard from Common App support and Collegevine communities is that my counselor should leave GPA and GPA scale empty.
The problem is, my counselor has already filled my GPA using online converter and submitted it. What is more, it doesn't include 9th grade ranks. Because in Korea, 9th grade is Middle School age and from 10th grade becomes High School. I thought he could fix it out using Optional Report, but GPA is marked as must. How can I issue it out?
I recommend emailing the admissions offices of every school you applied to about this issue. They will let you know if any changes need to be made. It is likely not a big deal to them because they ask for your final official transcript once you are accepted.
Hope this helps!
