As a bonus, I lived in Argentina for four years and Beijing, China for five years. In China, I attended one of the best international schools worldwide and maintained a 3.5 GPA there unweighted my freshman year. Some of my experiences overseas include witnessing the aftermath of the tsunami, actually witnessing the bombings in Bali, and making friends with the poor Chinese students at a remote school near Mongolia (These are my biggest topics to write about for my essays).
I will be applying to college as unranked because I switched schools through high school. My first school was much more difficult than the second, giving me a much lower average gpa than I would have at only my current school. With only my grades at my current school, I am in the top 5 or so of 300.</p>
<p>How is it that, even though you got a 3.8 unweighted GPA in mostly Honors and AP classes, you only got a 4.3 weighted? Correct me if Im wrong, but shouldnt it be much closer to the 4.6 to 4.7 range with those grades?</p>
<p>I'm from Argentina. Where in Argentina did you stay?</p>
<p>Zippidyduda, that is a good question, and I'll get back to you on that after looking at my transcript.
I lived in Cordoba, Argentina. Where are you from in Argentina?</p>
