I think its unfair!

Applying to College
1

<p>I’ve been through threads and read that people get 3.8 for GPA and what not, out of 4 i believe. Over here in my school in Singapore its CAP(GPA out of 5), and its SO HARD to get a 3.8 which is like 4.75. Only like 5 or 6 people even get more than 4.6. </p>

<p>I think its quite unfair, or do you think colleges actually compare grades within my school for ALL of those who apply? </p>

<p>I’m really worried about this</p>

<p>Thanks for your replies if you do.</p>

<p>Schools will compare grades according to your school. Of course a 3.8 won’t be the same for every school so they use the school setting to see how competitive the grades are. Test scores also help tell how hard schools are.</p>

<p>That’s what ranks are for.</p>
