<p>Hello</p>
<p>My High School Percentage have always been stunning ( 95%+ ) - Always highest in Class.</p>
<p>But my CBSE Class XII result was quite poor - Almost 20% dip ( 76% but still managed to top school in English and was among the top 5 scorers in Maths, Scored 30 marks lower in Physics, Economics and 40 Marks lower in Chemistry).</p>
<p>No one can say that my School exams were easier .. they were far tougher than the boards. Its true for every school in India.</p>
<p>So How can I explain this to College Ad Com</p>
<p>Partly the reason is that in India it is the fact that people don't score marks if their answers don't match the NCERT books Answer style ( The Official CBSE book ) and I never believed in Mugging up so always answered questions in my own way.</p>
<p>My Counselor is ready to write this explanation on his Recommendation.</p>
<p>Will it be enough or Will it really hamper my chances.</p>
<p>My SAT and SAT Subject scores are also stunning. ( Perfect SAT II scores in Maths LII, Physics, World History ).</p>
<p>Lots and lots of ECs.</p>
<p>I am applying to HYPS for Political Science.</p>
