[QUOTE="CarinaH, post: 32447, member: 6637"] Hi Camille, Thank you so much. The German grading system for the Abitur is from 15-1, with 1 being the lowest and 15 the highest. We also don't chose 3 subjects per se, we have majors, but I had to do 11 subjects until I graduated. So I explained how we had to choose your majors (there is the requirement of having to do a language and a science for your major). I would make sure this is quite in-depth. Don't send an essay, but equally don't try to make it fit into the text box. Check with the firm, but I was always told to e-mail it to them. I would not convert grades as there are just too many things that can go wrong and if you're like me and have 11 subjects, simply converting it also undermines how much work you had to do to make it through all the subjects, including some that you may not have wanted to do, but were mandatory. I think it's really important to highlight if any of your subjects were mandatory. Since you can choose your A-Levels, presumable you would choose things you are most interested in/best at. While I for example had to do subjects like biology, physics and geography even though they had no relevance to what I wanted to do because they were mandatory. I did not have my GDL grades when I started applying. I started the course in September around the same time I started my applications, so by the time I got my results in February, I had done all the applications I wanted to.
