<p>I am not trying to generalize anything here, but it seems to me that there is rampant grade inflation in the U.S.</p>

<p>As international students applying to the American universities, please list your GPA and SAT here.</p>

<p>A 3.7 in my school, for example, is a very successful GPA and indicates a very rigorous school curriculum.</p>

<p>In order to verify the correlation, SAT is a factor that is often used in order to compare applicants from diverse backgrounds.</p>

<p>Please list your GPA and SAT here. I am very curious to see the discrepancies between a low Grade Point Average and a high SAT score.</p>

<p>Yours faithfully,</p>

That is generally acknowledged. American universities are very aware of the differences in grading systems when they are making admission decisions.</p>

<p>Well… I personally have a 3.8 GPA and a 2300 SAT.
A lot of students in my school do have a perfect 4.0 GPA though…</p>

<p>@d122002: What country are you from?</p>

6

<p>class rank and national results are generally a better predictor for international students</p>

7

<p>What if your school doesn’t rank?</p>

<p>Most international schools don’t rank, but you can probably get an unofficial estimated class rank from whoever is completing your school report. (Top 10%, top 25%, top 50%, bottom 50%, something like that.)</p>

<p>In my school we don’t have ranking system, and our GPA is calculated a bit different. So how do universities look on our GPA and non ranking system?</p>

<p>My school doesn’t give any GPA. I am 16th in whole country for last year’s matriculation exam. I took my SATs last saturday :)</p>
