GPA system is harder ?

Transfer Students

<p>I'm from Hong Kong. I'm planning on transferring to USA colleges.</p>

<p>Here my university recently adopted the GPA system, so the teachers and graders don't know about it very much. They give As and Bs without regards to "GPA".</p>

<p>As a result, most students here get a low GPA. A 3.0 is considered REALLY high, especially in my department, enough to get a first class honors. </p>

<p>How can I make that known to the unis I'm applying to as a transfer? I don't want them to look at my GPA (around 3) and throw my app out in the trash. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>your SAT scores will matter A LOT.</p>

<p>I highly doubt they’ll look at your GPA, and throw your application out. I mean I’m not saying I know much about how each application is viewed, but I would like to think that admission officers are more sensible than that.</p>

<p>I’m not planning on submitting SAT scores as I’m taking them this week and it’s going to be just BAD (didn’t do math in 2 years!)</p>
