<p>Hey guys!
How much would the overall application be affected, in terms of grades if the 11th scores were a bit haywire?
Suppose, first unit test around a 70% and then missed 2 exams due to absentism and health issue, then directly finals with 85+?</p>
<p>You don’t have to send each unit test grades. Transcripts usually only have the final grades.</p>
<p>^ Exactly. So what is your aggregate? Anything above 80 should be fine depending on the places you will be applying to.</p>
<p>You should not really worry if u show an upward trend in ur 12 th midterm exams.
But, u may have to give an explainary note to colleges why ur performance slackened in 11th grade.</p>
<p>Oh, great, darn. I got a 76% in 11th. I hope that’s not too less for UC’s (other than UCB). :/</p>
<p>Not pretty bad, though I can’t say much without perspective. Though this should comfort you: You will <em>not</em> be rejected because of those marks if everything else is fine :)</p>
<p>Loooving aggregates!
Thanks guys :)</p>
<p>A lot of it depends on how your peers do as well. If the highest in your grade is 80%, and you have 79%, you’re obviously very strong, but if the highest is 95%, you’re grades are evidently mediocre.</p>
<p>In that sense my rank is fairly well, but seems more demeaning when class strength is mere 30 people!
How does that affect it?</p>
<p>In a class of 30 people, u need to be in the top 3 (10%) of the class to impress adcoms, given ur not so low scores.
Hope it helps.</p>
<p>The smaller your class size, the more lenient they are with percentiles/deciles/quartiles/quintiles/rank. Top 5 should be good if you’re getting a rank. Otherwise top 3. In comparison, if it were a class of 300, top 15 (5%) would be a high quality rank.</p>
<p>^^off topic tastycles, but wanted to ask that from my school( or city rather) will be applying for US univs, so will that go against me or me being ranked 2/234 in my class and national TT player would balance the odds??</p>
<p>sorry, there should be a <em>no</em> in between.
it should be like this:
but wanted to ask that from my
school( or city rather) "no one "will be applying for US univs</p>
<p>My SAT Scores and my EC’s are pretty good. Only my school grades are a little below average.</p>
<p>Your rank is excellent irrespective of EC’s. You should try getting recruited for TT if at all possible.</p>
<p>^^alas, there is no college that recruits for TT.
But, I am sure that colleges will think of it as a great EC.</p>
<p>What’s TT?</p>
<p>Ping Pong 
Balls of Fury :p</p>
