I'm planning to apply an American graduate school next year,but after hearing of the requirement fir GPA,I have seen a black future before me,but what does GPA stand for.
I don't know wether you western people understand me.Maybe in your opinion,a person who possess a excellent GPA means the one is excllent also.I don't know your educationg system very much,but under Chinese one,that is not ture.Fot instance,I am the only one in my class who have got articles published,but my writing score is just D.Another example,ny English score is lowest in my department,but i am the only who can communicate with foreigner in English there.
Why?I know the reason exactly.That because the Chinese education system is not very good or bad which is also the reason why I am looking forward to studing abroad,I call the system Must Be.In Chinese exam,if you obey answer that teacher told,you will get high score.However,I never obey,I just express what I think.You may feel strange,let me show you a example.A teacher tell you that Mark Twain is better than Jack London and if you like Jack London more and answer it,a D may kiss your script.
Well,maybe you will never understand me,but telling my sad things to friends in mindsay is happy all the same.
Addition:What about average score being about 85.(2007.2.8)
