I do not have cumulative GPA (I did not see an option where i can say that my school doesn’t count one, and i couldn’t leave it blank because common app would say that the section is not finished and i could not send the app). I switched schools at the start of 11th grade, and i also switched curriculums. I was in my country’s national curriculum during 9th and 10th grade. It is vastly different from any US high schools and we use a 1-10 grading scale which doesn’t translate to GPA. In 11th grade i switched to IB diploma and IB predicted scores also do not translate to GPA. Nobody in my school knew what to do and could not advise me. I tried to put in N/A in common app cumulative gpa section but it didn’t let me. So i just put in my gpa that i had 11th and 12th years. I put my GPA scale reporting out of 7 and so if i have 7 7 7 7 and 6 6 in both 11th and 12th years, then my gpa is 6.6/7. I know this is not ideal but i did not know what to do. Was this wrong? Just, please let me know what are your thoughts on this. Will i get rejected/accused of dishonesty because of this?
Ps. I did not add this to the additional info section, my advisor told me that it is not really necessary because many international students do not know how to put cumulative gpa and admissions officers will calculate gpa in their own way based on my transcripts.
