No es mal
 Aunque dependar de que quieres (que universidad quieres asistir, etc.) - ademas, el dificultad de la clases y el systemo del clarificación son factores. En todo caso, el superior 25% es muy bueno.

QPA = Quality Point Average. It's a mark that involves student's grades, credit hours and the student's performance, for what I understand.

^^^ Right about my use of "clarificacion."
I had honestly no idea how to communicate "grading system," so i just did a literal dictionary translation, which (as I'm sure you know) tends to be awful for actually expressing idioms/ideas of more than one word. United States high school/college year names: Estudiante de primer año = "Freshman" (we sometimes just say "frosh") Because: "Fresh" = "Nuevo" (in this case) Thus, it literally means "New Man" or "New Student" Estudiante de secundo año = "Sophomore" Comes from the Greek for "wise fool" (meaning that a second year student is foolish because they might think that they know more than they do). Estudiante de tercero año = "Junior" Estudiante de quarto año = "Senior" QPA = a "weighted" GPA (I believe). This means: So if you get all "A"s (highest grade) in your classes, but your classes are not difficult, your QPA will not be as high as a student who gets all "A"s in more difficult classes. Gracias para las correciónes, irmamar!
