<p>hiii. Has anybody here got any idea how colleges liek dartmouth consider international students who havent studied in the american education system??</p>
<p>like its totally different here in india. we dont have ranks, we also have percentages system and not gpa, and a gpa of 3.5/4 is nto equal to 87.5 % ( as many people believe , by 3.5/4 * 100 )</p>
<p>you knw, how do they accomodate the differences in level and the course?? if anybody has any idea it would really be appreciated.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm from new delhi.
We just have to report our percentages, and in the school report it has to be mentioned that we dont use ranking n gpa.</p>
<p>hiyya spidey! i mean the AIEEE exam in a former thread! and yah, am from ne wdelhi too! are you studying at dartmouth right now??</p>
<p>and i know that we have to send em our percentages, but what i was thinking is that you know, the indian educational system is harder in a different way than the american way, there are some major differences, so you knw, how do they reconcile that?? </p>
<p>coz getting gpa and percentages cannot really be converted into each other directly through mathematics. </p>
<p>Also, do the colleges consider the differences in the educational systems while making a decision??</p>
<p>Oh man, I remember you. :)</p>
<p>Don't convert. D would be quite familiar with the Indian system. And yes, colleges will definitely consider the differences in the educational systems while evaluating your application.</p>
