UC app- entering grades HELP!

<p>I did my high school education abroad where the grading system is A1, A2, B1, B2... so on.
We did not receive numerical grades(1-100). Should I choose 'other' in the UC app and enter this grading system?
I asked some of my seniors who applied last year. They said they entered their grades using the US system(A,B,C..) where and A1 and A2 would both count as an A.
Is this alright?</p>

<p>Just put “other” and then provide the explanation in the space provided.</p>

<p>Don’t follow your friends’ example and just “pretend” your grading system is identical to an “A, B, C.” The UC admissions officers have seen it all - just give them an accurate description of your grading system and you’ll be fine.</p>
