Applying From a UK High School to a USA University.
Answered

Hi, i am apply from a UK Boarding school to Universities in the USA.

I am wondering on how to deal with not having a GPA or Class ranking. Also since my A level courses are 2 years long and don't get a grade until the very end... what type of data should i expect to provide.

Since admissions officers have experience reviewing applicants from around the world, they have systems in place to convert your academics into metrics that they can understand. They will make these calculations once they receive your transcript.

To make it clear that colleges will need to convert your stats, you can enter "none" for the class rank and GPA scale reporting sections. You can leave every other non-mandatory question in the Grades section blank.

The only other academic information that you need to provide is a list of classes that you are taking at the time of applying. Reporting grades is not required for any class entry.

Hope this helps!
