<p>I am familiar with the german, american, UK and canadian systems. Canada is just the same as Germany in university’s taking straight gpa. No rec’s. No list of ec’s. Nothing. </p>
<p>That is part of my point there. Oxford obviously has a strong international community but in my relations with various UK uni’s they have a lot less understanding of North American systems than vice versa. I’m just telling you my personal experience and the ones of others I know. I’m not saying it’s the be all and end all.</p>
