<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I live in Canada and is currently in Grade 11. I am wodering my chances of getting into any of the top U.S university.</p>
<p>Here are my stats </p>
<p>GPA. -3.8 ( 7 A's out of 8 subjects) our school takes our best 8 subjects and calculate the average.</p>
<p>Rank- not too sure cuz the IB program I enrolled in is incorporated into a local public school but i guess taking into the difficulty of course into account , i should be about 5-10/ 140 IBers or 20/450 regulars</p>
<p>SAT- 2290 math (770), verbal (750), and writing (770)
SATII- Math I- 800, Math II-800. Bio- 780</p>
<p>AP- calculus- (maybe 4/5) taking it next year</p>
<p>courses:</p>
<p>IB HL English - 6
IB HL Bio-7
IB HL History- 7
IB SL math- 7 completed in Grade 11
IB SL Chem- 7
IB SL Mandarine- 7</p>
<p>TOk/EE expecting 2</p>
<p>total IB Score expected( ^^ if i keep up with the work) is probably around 40-43 </p>
<p>ECs- i know comparing with others, mine doesn't look that impressing and is definately on the low side</p>

<p>ethnic: female chinese( I noe>< that hurts the chances since only a few international spots are allotted for asians and the competition is extremely fierce) </p>
<p>no final aid required( hope that would give me an edge)</p>
<p>What are my chances? I am really perplexed right now as to what i should choose as my top choice or should i even given U.S university a try. After look at all others' amazing stats and impressive ECs in the forums, I realize that mine is quite minimal. </p>
<p>And if i do apply, do I have a chance to get accepted in U-Mich Ross program</p>
<p>btw i heard that early admission adds the chance of getting in significantly?
=_= can some fill me up a little on that ? Is it really true? cuz 50% of my friends say that all early decision applicants are generally very well-rounded, therefore it's natural that early admission has a higher rate of acceptance. </p>
<p>haha ^^ i will stop rambling on. and please tell me the truth( personal encouragement is greately appreciated though ) </p>
<p>thx alot !!!</p>
