<p>Hi. I'm a senior in Korean high school. I have a problem with my GPA. My school is one of the best in Korea, so my grades haven't been good enough for 3 years, though I've studied really hard. I don't think that US colleges will consider the Korean high school ranking. I don't know how to prove my academic abilities. I've taken rigorous courses for 3 years.</p>

<p>In my senior year, I've taken 3 different Math classes, Physics Ⅱ, Biology Ⅱ, 2 Korean classes, 2 English classes, Health and sports, Ethics, etc.</p>

<p>In the 2nd year, I've taken 2 different Math classes, Physics Ⅰ, BiologyⅠ, ChemistryⅠ, Earth scienceⅠ, Law and society, Art, Korean, English, Chinese, etc.</p>

<p>I want to know how you guys deal with this matter. Thank you.</p>

<p>p.s. I'm considering SUNY, and CCNY. I wonder if there's anyone who is interested in these schools. :)</p>

<p>In the extra info section of the common app, write about the difficulty of your school. I don't know if you have guidance counclers, but if you do, have them write about your school in a letter.</p>

<p>SUNY and (i believe you meant)CUNY are public school systems, not schools. I'm applying solely to SUNY schools. You can ask me if you have any questions about them.</p>
