<p>I'm a German 13th grader applying for American schools.</p>
<p>13th grader, because the German school system still has 13 years before college until the class of (?)2013 (I'm not too sure) will only have 12 years.</p>
<p>On all the apps however you can only tick the "12th grade" box, for example when listing ECs.</p>
<p>Should I list my Senior year activities as "12th grade" or not list them at all, instead putting them in the "Additional Info" section?</p>
<p>Isn’t there a place on applications to list all of the classes you took?</p>
<p>The main problem is the EC section (e.g. on Common App).</p>
<p>You have 4 boxes to tick: 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th</p>
<p>Now if I’m doing an EC NOW (13th grade) how should I put that? There’s no “13th grade” box to tick.</p>
<p>Then yes put the most relevant ones in grade 12 box.</p>
<p>just use 9th grade for 10 th grade, 10th grade for 11th grade and so on.
They don’t care if it’s really grade 9 to 12, they only care about the last four years of high school, which in Germanys case are grade 10 to 13.</p>
