agreed. But I've never understood how you get a 2400...how do you maintain the concentration the entire 4 hours and not mke at least 1 dumb mistake? Some people are freaks/on ridelin even though they don't have ADD

they fucking drill that shit/learn the relevant material in school (more the act)

it helps to check your answers, but i never really bothered to do that

yeah they have agencies that make you do test after test. Fuck that, I'd rather be creative. I have some writing credentials that'll put me in good stead, and my SAT scores aren't half bad (I haven't done the real SAT yet, just from the one practice I did).

I expect a 2100-2200 or so.

thanks for the advie. we'll see what happens ;) and by the way in canada 86> is considered A. so my GPA is much higher..

Were not Canada. They will take you percentages and convert the GPA, just as they done with my transcripts. so your gpa is 3.3 roughly

actually you're wrong. American schools do in fact take into account Canada's different mark system and I am fairly sure they don't convert Canadian transcripts into GPA

yea i mean that just doesn't seem fair

"American schools do in fact take into account Canada's different mark system and I am fairly sure they don't convert Canadian transcripts into GPA"

i would imagine they would have you convert the transcript into a gpa for practical purposes.  however, they would definitely take the appointed letter grade and would not arbitrarly convert the percentages to letter grades.  there's discrepancy b/w grading scales in the us.

[^_^]

why are you looking at the percentages? A's and B's differ in schools within the US. If you apply to grad school, for instance, they won't look at your percentages. They are going to look at your grade. A, B, C, D, or F.

Since you are coming from Canada, they are going to do the same thing. If you have an A, it's counted as 4. If you have a B, it's counted as 3. You're applying at an American school so they are going to convert your letter grades into an American GPA.

Again, grading scales differ in many schools within the US. It would be very time consuming to pick apart everyone's percentages.

Yes, because you lived in Canada and now attend an American school and have been through the process right? You got it all figured out don't you? Actually your wrong. Because I have been through this process before, and it was precisely how I mentioned.

yea i mean that just doesn't seem fair

Life's not fair.

Umm i found this thread after googling your question:

http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/canadian-grades-to-gpa

Now i think even though the person is applying to do an MBA he's still talking about the same grades you are so i would assume its the same conversion rate.

I suppose that all my school's guidance counselors are inferior to you in their knowledge of the system. For real, people in my school have gotten into harvard, yale, and princeton with 90-92 average. I think that one who got into brown had an 89 average.

It has a lot to do with extra curriculars and leadership positions.

The latter is utter bullshit, though.

I have my transcripts. The percentages were converted to American. Why do I need to hear what Canadian councellors are saying if I have personal experience and have seen it show up on my transfer scripts? Unless its different in ontario, that could be possible, so i wont exclude that possibility. The TS is from B.C. though. So most likely, it will be how I mentioned

I dont think any of you have actually played college soccer or gone through the recruiting process.... Ive done it twice, played both NAIA (which is good, played against Kevin Souter, now starter for KC Wizards) and D3 (the best D3 programs eg Messiah, Trinity, Loras can beat nearly any team any division), had a couple D1 offers, but went elsewhere to pursue different directions in my studies... Also my older brother played 4 years D1

Grades: Important, but a whole lot depends on standardized tests... ACT and SAT for US, idk what it is for Canada.. the combination of high test scores with good grades is what gets you in to the school

As for recruiting, the best D1 programs do most of their recruiting off the youth national and regional teams from the ODP Programs... 

After that, the majority of recruiting is done at things called "College Showcases" where teams go, play exhibition matches and college coaches sit on the sidelines and watch with notepads and rosters...    After college showcases, a fair amount of recruiting is done through their residential camps, where a bunch of college coaches are and see these players... but its a huge money thing, and these coaches make tons of money off of players paying expensive fees to go to their camps.

Sorry guys, virtually NO SCHOOL OFFERS FULL RIDES FOR SOCCER!!!!!! very rarely do you see this happen.

a fully funded NCAA program is 9.9 full ride scholarships.. that is 9.9 for a full team, most likely consisting of 27-33 players, and is split up..
