MSc PEP Application Questions

I am applying for the MSc in Politics, Economics and Philosophy and had questions concerning the higher education entrance eligibility, information on my first degree, and grading scale sections.

(1) The section on Information on higher education entrance eligibility asks for a "Grade in the higher education entrance eligibility." I graduated from high school in the US, with a 4,6 GPA (weighted), I attached to this message for reference.

I was wondering what grade I should enter in that field (what number).
Additionally, I do not see a field to submit my high school transcript/diploma. Is that correct?

(2) The "Information on your first degree" section asks about the "Regular term of study," in semesters. At my university (the University of Oregon, in the US), there is no fixed length of study, only how long it takes the student to take all the courses they need to graduate. Additionally, we have quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring; we are not required to take courses in the Summer, the other 3 constitute the main part of the academic year), not semesters. In most cases, it takes people 4 years to graduate, but not always (I am graduating in 3). What number of semesters would it be your advice to put in response to this question?

Thank you in advance!

Hello maria_mirmir,

1) Please enter 9,9 (with comma). The certificate about your higher education entrance eligibility has not to be uploaded as the certificate/ grade does not influence the admission procedure.

2) Enter the standard period of study to the best of your knowledge and belief.

Hello,

Understood, thank you so much for the information.
To follow up, I was also wondering whether it is an issue that I am graduating early? I will have fulfilled all of the requirements for my Bachelor's by the end of this Spring (roughly June 15), after having completed the equivalent of 6 semesters.

I have put in my expected graduation date on the application. As there is not a field to put in the requirements for my course of study, I was wondering if I should have indicated on my application that I am graduating early. If so, as I have already submitted my application, would you be able to advise what would be the best course of action?

Thank you once again.

Hello maria_mirmir,

Since you were able to submit your application, it appears you provided all the required information. Some details are only used for statistical purposes, so please don't worry too much.

Best regards,
