How do American colleges evaluate Indian 11th/12th midterm grades?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I've got a 10 CGPA in 9th/10th, but my 11th grade fell drastically to 80%.
My official transcript looks like this.</p>

<p>Math - B
Accountancy - A+
English - A+
Business Studies - A+
Economics - A+
My school's grading scale is
B - 50-59
B+ - 60-69
A - 70-79
A+ 80-100</p>

<p>My school converts all marks to grades, so colleges won't know that my overall is 80%.</p>

<p>Does that one B put me out of the running for competitive colleges? The conversion follows the official WES conversion table, so by that, my GPA would be around 3.8.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>They evaluate in terms of the context of your school, as they do with all applicants. Also, as with all applicants, 1 B will not be the reason you are accepted or denied.</p>

<p>Top colleges get plenty of applicants from India. I think you can assume the regional admissions officer has familiarity with the Indian educational system.</p>
