<p>How did you calculate your GPA for grades at a foreign high school ? How did you apply "weighting"?</p>
<p>There is a website called "World Education Services" (<a href="http://www.wes.org%5B/url%5D">www.wes.org</a>, or something like that) which, besides converting your grades for a fee, also provides free conversion charts for most school systems.</p>
<p>Very useful, bogororo, thank you.</p>
<p>my school just put a big stamp "NOT APPLICABLE" at the secondary school report and sent their own version of a report, in English.</p>
<p>I've talked to the Overseas University Tutor at one of the leading schools here in the UK which regularly sends students to HYP etc. His advice was to write NOT APPLICABLE when asked for GPA but to be sure to include a note explaining WHY GPA is N/A for the UK system - in other words, be sure the school profile contains a description of the national educational system. I am not sure what country you are writing from, Pyewacket, so maybe GPA can be converted in your case but I would be leery about trying to fit a very different grading system into the US scheme of things. And although the big Admissions Offices all claim to have experts on staff very familiar with the different exam systems around the world, my experience has shown this knowlege can be very superficial.</p>
