Admission for international students

<p>I went to my counseller yesterday and was really depressed after talking to him. He told me it was almost impossible for a non full ib international student to get into us universities. Well...Im one of those partial ib kids. He said I could get into a Canadian university easily but not the US universities. My question is: does ib matter that much to the univerisities? And do international students have to get a much higher score in SAT/ACT than the local students do?
By the way...I attend school in Canada.</p>
