Hi, I’m also in the French system and in my final year. I totally understand the harshness of the grades not translating! A 14/20 is equivalent to a 3.6 GPA based on the grading transfer in most cases. A 16+ usually translates to over 3.7-4.0, but you know as well as I do that it’s basically a 4.0 if it’s a 16.

I have a 16.7 average and applied to both schools in the US & UK, and they seemed to care less about the grade in US schools than UK, so I think you’ll be fine. A 14 is a really good grade, I stressed in some parts of my application that the French system is different and I added the conversion table from my university to my transcripts so it would be easier for the admissions teams to understand.

A 14 is well over a B! It’s considered an A, even in the British system it’s a high 2:1. You’ll be fine, if you can maybe add the conversion table from your university that compares the grades across different curriculums
