College GPA and offical transcript

Members don't see this ad.

I have a little problem... I am filling out my application with the intent of mailing it out first thing Tuesday morning. I noticed that it asked for your GPA. I do not remember my GPA from college but have my official transcript (which is sealed). What can I do?
1. open the envelope which will not make it official (this is what I'm leaning too)
2. Call my college first thing tues morning and plead with them to give me my GPA over the phone. But I doubt that will happen.
3. Leave my GPA blank (I know it was rather good, so I want to put it).
4. Or call SF match Tuesday when they open around 12 nyc time and ask them what is best to.

any help is truly appreciated.

CAS says that transcript doesn't have to be official, so I dont think it matters if you open it or not. if it made a difference i dont think they would be so unassuming about it... any other thoughts?

From what I understand, the college transcript is one of the less important items for the sfmatch, and does not have to be official. I had the same dilemma and decided to just open it and copy down my gpa.
