<p>i sent all my credentials to Joseph Silney a foreign credential evaluator.
this is what they calculated:</p>
<p>class 9 & 10 : english : A
hindi(2nd language) : A
maths : A+
science : A+
social studies : A+
class 11 : english : A-
chemistry : A
physics : A+
maths : A+
omputer science : A+</p>
<p>overall GPA : 4.19</p>
<p>i am currently doing class 12 and i have been predicted something better than this (around 95%)</p>
<p>i want to know how good is this when compared to other applicants to top schools (i am applying to top engineering schools like ucb, mit, stanford, gatech etc.)</p>
<p>is the above GPA weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>will the admission officers also arrive at the same figure when evaluating my transcripts</p>
<p>i am actually doing the indian based CBSE curriculum</p>
<p>It seems to be an unweighted GPA (a weighted GPA gives extra GPA points for harder classes). But usually there are no A+s and the upper ceiling is 4.0. Many colleges re-calculate GPAs using their own policies so colleges may arrive at a different GPA.</p>
<p>I don't see why you are complaining about those grades - they are all As. Great job!!! Those grades definitely make you competitive for top colleges but you will need more than good grades to make the cut.</p>
<p>Most colleges who frequently get applications from foreign students don't ask for those evaluations because they can compare applicants with the same educational background side-by-side, which is a lot more effective than comparing foreign applicants to American standards using a (more or less) random grade conversion scale.</p>
<p>But I think Georgia Tech is one of the colleges that require evaluations and that's probably why the OP had it done.</p>
