Need Help with Grade Average Input for Sciences Po Application (German Grading System)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently applying to a Sciences Po Graduate program and ran into a technical issue when trying to input my grade average. My Cumulative Grade Point Average (1.4) is being flagged as "exceeding" the maximum grade for the country's education system (1.0) in the designated application box.

For context, I’m applying from Germany, where the grading system typically ranges from 1.0 (best) to 6.0 (worst). The system seems to interpret 1.4 as exceeding the maximum, possibly due to a misunderstanding of how grades are structured here.

To other german applicants: Have you had the same problem? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated! Good luck with everybody's applications <3
