11th scores!

xNorth22 · February 2012

Hey guys!
How much would the overall application be affected, in terms of grades if the 11th scores were a bit haywire?
Suppose, first unit test around a 70% and then missed 2 exams due to absentism and health issue, then directly finals with 85+?

You don't have to send each unit test grades. Transcripts usually only have the final grades.

^ Exactly. So what is your aggregate? Anything above 80 should be fine depending on the places you will be applying to.

You should not really worry if u show an upward trend in ur 12 th midterm exams.
But, u may have to give an explainary note to colleges why ur performance slackened in 11th grade.

anvesh95 · February 2012

Oh, great, darn. I got a 76% in 11th. I hope that's not too less for UC's (other than UCB).

Tizil7 · February 2012

Not pretty bad, though I can't say much without perspective. Though this should comfort you: You will *not* be rejected because of those marks if everything else is fine

Loooving aggregates!
Thanks guys

A lot of it depends on how your peers do as well. If the highest in your grade is 80%, and you have 79%, you're obviously very strong, but if the highest is 95%, you're grades are evidently mediocre.

In that sense my rank is fairly well, but seems more demeaning when class strength is mere 30 people!
How does that affect it?

Mrinal2207 · February 2012

In a class of 30 people, u need to be in the top 3 (10%) of the class to impress adcoms, given ur not so low scores.
Hope it helps.

The smaller your class size, the more lenient they are with percentiles/deciles/quartiles/quintiles/rank. Top 5 should be good if you're getting a rank. Otherwise top 3. In comparison, if it were a class of 300, top 15 (5%) would be a high quality rank.

^^off topic tastycles, but wanted to ask that from my school( or city rather) will be applying for US univs, so will that go against me or me being ranked 2/234 in my class and national TT player would balance the odds??

Mrinal2207 · February 2012

sorry, there should be a *no* in between.
it should be like this:

My SAT Scores and my EC's are pretty good. Only my school grades are a little below average.

tastycles · February 2012

Your rank is excellent irrespective of EC's. You should try getting recruited for TT if at all possible.

Mrinal2207 · February 2012

^^alas, there is no college that recruits for TT.
But, I am sure that colleges will think of it as a great EC.

anvesh95 · February 2012

What's TT?

Tizil7 · February 2012

Ping Pong
