Updated Transcripts!
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted about yet, as I imagine this is something that a large portion of the community is currently dealing with. I had all of my transcripts sent to my 18 schools at $5 a pop back in early November, before my grades for this semester were in. Before this semester's grades, my GPA was 3.89, but now it has increased to a 3.90. So far, I have sent out 9 of my 18 applications (the ones that were due up to December 15). I still have the other 9 to submit, as they have deadlines throughout January. When I enter my GPA on those applications, I'd like to type 3.90, but when they see my transcripts, they're going to see a 3.89 and think I'm lying or something? (Unfortunately, there's no box under GPA that says, "Please explain if this number is different than what appears on your transcripts.")
I'd like schools to see my grades from this semester because all of my courses were graduate courses that are very relevant to my field, and I imagine the fact that I got As in them would look pretty good. So, do I have to pay another $90 (18 * $5) to send them to all of the schools again? What is everyone else doing about getting Fall 2007's grades sent to schools after they already sent everything up until Fall 2007?
RE: First three comments
Thank you. I agree that it is not worth $90 to pay for .01 of GPA and that GPA doesn't get you in (but can only keep you out) and that 3.89 is not that different from a 3.90.
Now my question is, on my remaining 9 applications, should I still type 3.89? Blah. Maybe I'm just too much of a perfectionist, but it hurts so bad to type that when I actually have a 3.9, haha. Sorry for being such a brat.
