My country doesn't have a GPA system for high school.
Answered

In my country university selection is done through Advanced level exam results. Can I apply using those results or should I do SAT when applying to U.S. universities? Also what should I do about GPA?(we don't have a GPA system for high school)

Hi @brimax!

Many universities in the US are test-optional i.e., do not require test scores. You need to check university websites to see which ones are test-optional.

Your advanced level exam results will be evaluated as a part of your coursework and GPA. If your school doesn't use GPA, then in what form do you get your grades?

Usually universities take your grades and translate it into their own GPA system as every high school/pre-college institution has a different way of weighting their scores and GPA.
