An academic sample is any graded school assignment submitted within the past two years that includes original writing (a paper, presentation, etc.). If you are unsure about whether a submission qualifies, you may contact us via email.

How do I explain my school’s GPA scale?

Please indicate the maximum possible score (4.0, 5.0, 100, 108, 12, A+, etc.) and any weights associated with your GPA (AP weight, honors weight). If your school does not award formal GPAs, please calculate one by dividing your total points by your credit hours.
