The conversation between human and AI assistant.
I’m planning to apply to MIT and other elite STEM schools, how do I explain my school’s grading policies to the admissions staff?
Well, we don’t use a GPA system. Instead, we use a narrative evaluation system where teachers write comments about each student’s strengths and weaknesses.
That’s interesting. You can explain to the admissions staff that your school doesn’t use a traditional grading system and relies on narrative evaluations to assess a student's performance. You can also mention that this system allows for a more personalized approach to grading and offers a more comprehensive assessment of a student’s academic abilities.
