<p>McGill is my dream school, and based on my numbers I'm more or less uncertain about my admissions chances: my GPA is 3.63 and my school doesn't rank or do weighted GPA, my SAT is 2230 and my ACT is 32. I have SAT II scores of 770 in Math IIC and 700 in Chemistry, and I'll have 5 AP classes by the end of 12th grade with scores of 4s and 5s. So I guess you can say I'm just your average applicant! :)</p>
<p>However I do have a question as to nationality. I know there's been quite a few nationality threads on this forum but it seems that the only threads visible right now are those posted after September 1 2010, so I can't sift through to find my answer so I thought I'd just post it on here and have fingers crossed for answers! </p>
<p>I'm a Canadian citizen attending high school in the United States. I'm not a Quebec resident either--I was born in Vancouver, so I'd be a nonresident Canadian applying from the US. I've heard that a situation like mine makes it harder for me to get in than American high schoolers born in US, so my question is, is this true? And if so, do you know why? I'd have thought that Canadian citizenship would give me a leg up, but if not I'd feel better applying with that knowledge in mind, especially since I want to apply to the extremely competitive Life Sciences field.</p>
<p>Tuition is a negligible matter to me, seeing as how McGill tuition is incredibly generous compared to US universities, so I don't mind paying the non-Quebec resident tuition. I'd just like to know if being a Canadian citizen living in the US would help or hinder my chances of getting into McGill with a life sciences major!</p>
<p>Any insight or answers would be very much appreciated, thanks! :)</p>
