<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I am an international student applying from Sweden. In Sweden, we do not have the standard GPA system. However, in Swedish grades I have literally straight A's. Do the admission offices have someone who understands my academic system, or is the fact that Sweden has a different system negative in my application? </p>
<p>Applying to Columbia, UPenn, Princeton and NYU</p>
<p>I am also an international student and when I spoke to admissions officers they explained to me that international applications are first read by somebody who is familiar with that particular education system, so you should be fine!</p>
<p>Yeah you’ll be fine, just ask your counselor to explain the system in his recommendation of you, I think in Commonapp there’s a question about it for him</p>
