<p>yeah that 1800 is gonna kill you^^</p>

<p>and just to point it out, my activities are all 4 yrs, =] which shows great commitment. but then when you look at his, mostly 2 yrs, one 1 year, and one 4 yrs, it means he havent done anything until junior yr. which is a huge disadvantage for him as well.</p>
<p>You’re ECs aren’t that great either, so I would be so sure…</p>
<p>u dnt even know my ECs O.O i was just pointing out our similarities.</p>
<p>okay @ that dude who started this thread. IT IS POSSIBLE TO CALCULATE GPA OUT OF YOUR IGCSE GRADES, if you didn’t know. An A*/A = 4.0 GPA, and B=3.7 and then it goes on… lol. I don’t remember all of it but yeah whatever, it’s still possible</p>

<p>No offense, mate, but I don’t think anyone on this board can give anything close to an accurate chance without seeing the actual meat of any student’s application, which are usually the essays and to a smaller extent the recs. Especially in schools like the Ivy Leagues and Stanford; once you reach a certain benchmark it basically becomes a crapshoot that no one except the adcoms themselves can predict.</p>
<p>That’s one of the reasons I will not be posting a chance thread on here. That, and the fact that many of the responses to chance threads are needlessly hostile. I don’t need to be put down by someone who has no better idea on whether I’ll be accepted or rejected than I myself do.</p>
<p>I tried using that scale for the GCSEs but it so happened that many other schools increase the value of a B to an A for the IGCSEs. I have no idea why, hence why I didn’t make any assumptions on how the universities create a GPA using the IGCSEs (if they do).</p>
