<p>My situation is kind of complicated.
I took grade 9, 10, and one term of 11 in Asia;
one term of grade 10, 11, and one term of 12 in the US.
That means I took 4.5 years of high school totally, and I have two transcripts for grade 10 and one term for grade 11( since I took them both in Asia and the US).</p>
<p>I want to know how will they count my GPA?</p>
<p>I had a really similar situation. I did 2.5 years of HS in Brazil, and I’m finishing up the rest here in the US.</p>
<p>My American school ‘translated’ my transcripts when I came. They didn’t do a very good job of it, their translation made my grades look very bad. For example, instead of saying that I took Physics, Bio, and Chemistry all at once and got A level grades for Brazil, it said I got an 85 in Earth Science. >( They could only add on classes within their system to my transcripts, or something…</p>
<p>Only my American GPA counted. Perhaps if your Asian school had a more relatable system, they might include it. I guess it depends. You should probably ask your HS office.</p>
<p>If you have issues like this, I would recommend you get a ‘letter of explanation’ from your former principal. I had mine write about my grade level at our school, which I’m pretty sure helped a lot.
Good luck with everything!</p>
<p>The college will work it out, I also agree that you should get a letter from each school you’ve attended explaining the grading system of the school and difficulty of each school.</p>
