COLLEGE HELp!?

Question

I'm applying to different colleges in the U.S from New Zealand and we have a different marking system here and i was wondering how they figure out whether you're good enough by American standards?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you are resourceful and intuitive enough to be utilizing a website, you will probably have no problem getting into some American universities.  Your previous academic record will determine where you can get in.  But just showing interest and being from new zealand is huge.  Colleges love bragging about have a diverse student population.

Answer 2

Basically, if you are black, latino, or some other minority, you can get into any college for free!  I am glad I could help you today!

Answer 3

they have a comparing school system that they use to compare different schools from different places even of out of U.S. the  system helps them decide what credits they want to take.

Answer 4

For US colleges it's all different.  Social Science colleges rate differently than a biological or law school...  You would need to add more information specific to the kind of school you are looking to apply to.

Answer 5

First you need to see a college chancellor who can help you. They will help you calculate your GPA and convert your grades from New Zealand to American University systems.

If the grading system in New Zealand is not  based on letter grade, you have a possibility of getting higher converted American grade if you don't have a grade of 60 below, and most universities require higher GPA (Grade Point Average) to get in.

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Jim Jam is off base, for starters.

The determination is made by the school.  If it is unclear, they have people to help them figure it out.

Most students will have their transcripts evaluated by an outside agency, as well, so that they can determine which credit will transfer directly to their US school.
