A lot of corrections to grades

Hi everyone,
So I just realized that AADSAS made a number of corrections to the grades I submitted. I don't understand - for some they changed a number grade to a letter grade and marked it as a correction, but not for all. I'm worried because the application shows several asterisks next to grades to indicate they were changed. Is this going to look terrible?

I don't understand.. What do you mean? Your school provides final numbers on transcripts as opposed to the conventional A B C?

I don't think you need to worry about it much, as long as you followed the conversion table provided you should be good. They made corrections to a few of my grades as well but I think that's because my school has its own number to letter grade conversion table.

Yup, some schools (e.g. UW) gives out number grades (0.0 to 4.0), not letters.

Sorry, I did not explain myself well. My school does provide numbers rather than A, B, C, etc. There were some weird corrections like for one class they changed a 3.6 to an A- but other classes left the number grade. My application has a ton of asterisks indicating they had to make "corrections" to my grades from what I submitted.

That makes sense - I bet that is what happened with mine as well. Thank you! 🙂
