<p>Firstly are we judged on our school marks for my marks have been low so how is it possible to judge performance on the basis of marking schemes that vary from school to school and teacher to teacher....especially our 11th and 12th grade where i just passed in physics but was the only one in my class getting the passing marks...I have a strong international EC backing...Secondly who is a counselor what is the basic difference between em...Lastly do i need to fill Common App for all colleges one after another or is there any way in which they can be filled simultaneously</p>
