academics-
school doesnt have a gpa system
9th grade- 73%
10th grade-95.2%(national exam)
11th grade-69%
the reason for my bad grades is that my school gives out horrible grades to everyone. that 95.2 wasnt checked by the school but was evaluated by the national council since we have to give a board exam in the 10th and 12th

<p>I’d recommend a higher SAT score, above 2200 is your best shot. If not, at least above 2000</p>

<p>Read about special circumstances. And if you decide to write an essay how your school gives “horrible” grades to everyone, try to avoid too much negativity. Present is as a cultural thing.</p>
