Miscommunication of GPA

on usc’s slide room for arts supplements, they ask me to report my highest weighted GPA. since our school weighs GPA on a 4.7 scale for some odd reason, I wanted to specify that as my weighted gpa of 3.9 would look much worse if it was a 5.0 scale. So I attempted to specify by writing “3.9 / 4.7 (highest weighted)”. Retrospectively, I feel as if that may have sounded more misleading and confusing than I have intended. I know this is super late in the process and I actually had an interview for USC already. Do you think I should email their admissions about this miscommunication in my Gpa? I’m sure on the school transcript that was actually sent it is made much more clear, but I don’t want to get into later trouble or get accused of trying to mislead them.
