Will colleges convert International grades to American grades?

<p>Hey guys! I'm from the CBSE Board (India), and for my 11th and 12th marks, my school converted them into grades. One thing I'm confused about though is that 50-59 is a B, whereas in the American System, that is considered a failing grade?
I have only one B in my entire 4 year transcript, all the others are A+, so will this be bad?</p>

<p>I even used a calculator, selected India and it told me my GPA for that year is 3.8, but I'm worried admissions officers will see it as a fail.</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>???</p>

<p>B is like 80-89. Where did you hear that 50-59 is B??? That’s F grade in US school system!</p>

<p>In the Indian System, 50-59 is a B grade.</p>

4

<p>What is an “A”?</p>

5

<p>And is the max 100 or…?
That’s a pretty odd conversion, I must admit. So A would be 60-100 (granted it goes that high) And C,D,F would be <40? </p>

<p>You’re fine. Your school submits your grading scale. </p>

<p>@paul2752‌ please, the US is not the only school system. There exist far many more grading scales.</p>

<p>A+ is 80-100
A is 70-79
B+ is 60-69</p>

<p>Thank you guys!!</p>

<p>oh thats interesting. i didnt know about indian grading scale. sorry shystarrystikes.
one B wont hurt that much.</p>

<p>@Shystarryskies: Your providing what an A converts to was simple, no? I’m sure from here on out, everyone who sees your scale will know how to compare you to typical US kids and their 4.0 =A scale.</p>

<p>Why do you think that college admissions offices, who see 8 bazillion transcripts with 7 bazillion grading scales, will have any difficulty translating your school’s grading scale into something they can use? It’s their job, you know. You’re fine. </p>
