<p>Well, I'm an international student and I wanna go to the USA for my higher education.
HOWEVER! My ranking sucks
It's somewhere in the 10~20% with a gpa of 3.7 something
BUT! Here's the problem...
Most top 10s are cheaters
and some got caught cheating
but were just suspended...
There's even one student who was in NHS and got cut because of cheating..
Oh, and some of the top 10&20s cheated in the AP MacroEconomics and Eng. Lang. exams and their names were reported to the principal who was a "retired" nun and really stupid..(the nun got fired after getting sued by a student in my school)
My school almost went down the drain... yea....sad........T.T
Still, my school never did anything to the suspected cheaters and they're all just standing proudly with their gpa's from 9~11 grade (though their grades for 12th grade are like S**T)
What do I do? Should I ask my GC (hired this year, so he doesn't know anything) to do something about this madness or are there any other ways?
Oh, and does the Midyear Report include average GPA from 9~12th grade?</p>
<p>midyear does not include the extra stuff......... for the cheating stuff,....i think u r in a big prob coz even if u mention that in ur app ..it certainly degrades ur school's quality and that can not be compromised with......</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with smartmind...I don't think there's anything you can really do about it, you definitely can't fix the problem singlehandedly, and your GC is probably aware of the problem already. You just have to suck it up and see what happens. There are cheaters wherever you go, but IF you get that rejection letter you can say "well, at least I still have my honor and pride and don't cheat". Yeah, it sucks being honest, huh? I went to a sci&tech school where cheating was rampant; people will do anything to get into college.</p>
<p>exactly... it is like even if u do mention the cheating stuff and the adcomm realise it how are you going to convince them that you arent one of them.......... </p>

<p>Yes and when those cheaters get caught in college, then they will be without a college and you'll be better off no matter what college you're at.</p>
