<p>I did my 9th, 10th and 11th grade in india, after moving there from california in my 8th grade. I am currently a green card holder (recently reactivated it), and am planning to do my 12th grade in the US (at my relative's place). After showing the American school my transcripts, they evaluated it and gave me a class rank and GPA.</p>
<p>class rank: 144/371
GPA: 3.33 UW
GPA : 3.66 W</p>
<p>They awarded me a few APs (Chem, Phy, Calc) for my junior year, and gave me all As.
For my freshman and Sophomore years, they gave me almost nothing at AP level, but considering the fact that i never had the option to take AP classes there (syllabus is predetermined for all students), I do not feel that the class rank should be applicable to me as i never studied here in high school. In india we only have a final exam, in which i got excellent grades for 11th grade, good in 10th grade and ok grades in 9th, this is because i had to move from america to india and had to take the languages hindi and sanskrit which i did not know at all, along with indian history. So I have a valid reason for my 9th and 10th grades, and also my grades have a positive trend.</p>
<p>Also if i study 12th grade in the US, i wil have to take US history, Gov/pol, and biology to graduate. I want to be an electrical engineer, so I feel these are a waste of time. </p>
<p>Now my question is: Would it make a difference to apply as a green card holder from india (in this situation i wouldn't be submitting a class rank, but instead my results from my high school years in india), as compared to applying from a US high school as a green card holder as well.</p>
