No es mal:D
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.:thumbsup:

Some corrections ;) (I don't understand what is "clarificación"
What does QPA mean? And does "freshman" mean "primer año"?
Thanks :)

Sí ¿qué es este QPA?
Sé que hay GPA (grade point average)
Tambien, creo que "freshman" significa "primer año" :D

Creo que lo que satchrocks quiso decir fue "el sistema de calificación" (los criterios con los que se evalúa).
QPA = Quality Point Average. It's a mark that involves student's grades, credit hours and the student's performance, for what I understand. :thinking:

^^^ 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!
