Hey guys,

My unofficial transcript that was 1 year old said that I had a 3.537 GPA. However, I just recently got my official transcript mailed to myself and my GPA is 3.596. I think this might be really important to my chances at many of my applied schools, since it places me right above their average GPA, instead of right below. However, I can't seem to make any changes after I already submitted my application. What do you guys recommend me to do?

Hey MbaConfucius ,

GO ahead and drop an email to admissions committee and mention the same case to them.

You may send the scanned copies of both the reports to them.

Good Luck :)

Hi MbaConfucius,

Please drop in an email to the Admissions Committee along with a copy of your transcript. If you do not have a response from them, please try calling them up :)

All the best!

Completely agree that you should send a copy of both reports so that they see you had reasons for reporting what you did and that you want to send all the information and update to the official report for transcript. Don't lose even a moment of sleep on this one- this is all fine- just send the updated info and don't worry about it!
