Opinions?

<p>Hey
I went to a high school in the states but it's a little different.
It's located in the US but it's a Japanese high school to get into a Japanese university. So the difficulty of the work is very different. Japanese is taught at a Japanese high school level and English is taught at a normal American standard- it's pretty tough.
But they do figure out GPAs.
It's out of 4.0 unweighted, but getting a WEIGHTED 3.8 is pretty unbelievable.
I think I got around 3.4~3.5 weighted (not certain), but got in the top 10%, honor roll, NHS- doesn't sound too bad ey.
But when you look at my report card, there are B's and sometimes C's, so I probably look a lot worse, even though it's common.
I did get into one of the best Engineering department of the most prestigious private university in Japan (engineering there is ranked about 3rd in the nation), but quit because I wanted to study business or international relations in the US.</p>

<p>SAT scores are
CR 650
Maths 800
Writing 600
(Going to take SAT1 again in October to boost the CR and Writing scores)</p>

<p>Maths II 790
Chem 800</p>

<p>And English isn't my first language.</p>

<p>Would like to see myself at a the top college, but would the administration offices think I'm an average student who just fluked the SAT?</p>

<p>Opinions please!</p>

<p>Your English is very good by the way :). Your SAT score is really good already, but retaking it wouldn’t hurt at all. I doubt the admission officers would think you flunked the SAT. You’re not average, so get that out of your head lol ;). I think you’re fine.</p>

<p>well give us an idea of what schools you are thinking about when you say “top”</p>

<p>I can see your predicament. When you apply I would make sure that the Adcoms understands the nature of grading at your school. Maybe a letter or counselor note or something?</p>

<p>Btw I didn’t make a typo; the word is “fluked”. It means that the results were solely by luck. Maybe it’s an Australian term?</p>
