<p>I totally understand what you mean though. But I am enrolled in a school in the United states, but I’m taking full IB, and so although our grading system is A 90% - 100%, only two or three students in the class have A’s. The highest grade in my IB biology HL class right now is 91.6% (which I have). We started off with 40 students, but next semester half the class will drop out, but unfortunately I have to stay in. </p>

<p>I just don’t understand how the colleges will compare my hard courses but low GPA with someone in my school who takes easier weighted classes, but higher GPA.</p>

<p>Well the I guess they would use their discretion, because they do want students to do the hardest curriculumn possible and a class with half of the students dropping it definitely is not easy.</p>
