Unfortunately, no. Grades are really complex, not in the least because we deal with a half-dozen different grading systems. While we feel comfortable evaluating an applicant in their context, it’s impossible to give guidelines that are generally helpful.

<p>That really surprised me. I am an international EC, and I think I deal with a half-dozen grading systems in my region alone. Not just A-levels, and IB, but a wide variety of intriguing variants including one (actually quite good) school in my region that does not believe in giving grades at all. That is one of the reasons why context is so important.</p>
