[QUOTE="raccoon, post: 125852, member: 12210"] Hello! I studied in the US before coming to the UK for university. US high school is the equivalent of secondary school. The academic results I achieved in high school my GPA (Grade Point Average), SAT score and AP exams. The UK university I studied at asked for these results. I am doing my best to give firms context of my secondary school grades, but there is no unified conversion method to convert these results to A-Levels or UCAS points. For example, Durham University has their own conversion system, as does Bristol University, etc. I do not have a good sense of how careful I should be about this section. I'm freaking out a little. Some questions I have are as follows: [LIST=1] [*]Do I need to disclose each and every single result from every class or is my overall GPA enough? Will they conduct a thorough background check? (I don't want to be penalised for failing to disclose results, but disclosing all results is tedious). [*]Should I be emailing all grad rec teams to ask specifically what they want to know or is my best guess enough? I assume that grad rec is familiar with processing international grades, especially from the US, so I don't want to badger them with unnecessary questions. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
