Transcript - unweighted/weighted GPA

On a transcript, I wrote:

 

Unweighted GPA: X.XX on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0

Weighted GPA: Y.YY on a scale of 0.0 to 5.0

 

 

Should I have left off the "on a scale of..." for both?   I explain in a note below on the transcript that AP classes were weighted 1.0 points and "Honors" classes 0.5 points.  And, on the Common App, it asks what scale you use.

 

I already uploaded one son's transcript, so I can't do anything about that. But now I'm wondering if I should change it for my other son.

 

Or does it even matter?!

I left off the scale, although there was a question on the common app that specified scale.

I left the scale at 4.0 because it wasn't possible to actually get to 5.0 since not every class could be weighted.  I don't know how a school answers this.  I also think it is a pretty minor point as long as it is clear what you weighted and why and how.

Hugs to you.  Last year's effort to get all the paperwork is still fresh in my mind.  It felt like I was building a house.  Each decision was small  (what doornobs, molding, etc) but yet, the decisions still have to be made. And there were a LOT of decisions!  Good luck!
