1

<p>okay.so im from CAnada..
and im palnnign to apply for (..johns hopkins.yale.princeotn..etc.)
okay so the porblem is - >>>></p>

<p>US and canadian highschs seem so different.
for instance.
we dont have GPA system. and our "A" starts from (86%)
and (prob becuase i live in a rural area)
our school barely has any AP courses and "clubs"</p>

<p>so...i was just wondering that
if i wante dto calculate my GPA. do i consider 87 or 90 as A(4.0)?
AND
i have a very weak ECs.
how can i improve my ECs?</p>

<p>thanks in advance.</p>

<p>It depends on your school actually. A 90 at my school would be somewhere around 3.5, a 4.0 would be 96+. But this varies from school to school</p>
