<p>I am a sophmore in very well known IB school, I am an international student and a canadian.
I know it isn't easy to judge without any SAT or other grades but do I have a chance of getting into McGill and I am planning on taking the IB Diploma Program.</p>

<hr>

<p>For those who are not familiar with IB grading, the conversion is like this:
7= A+
6= A-
5= B
4= C
3= D
2= F</p>

<hr>

<p>9th Grade Semester 1:
Math: 4
English: 5
History: 5
French: 5
Spanish: 5
Bio: 6
Physics: 5</p>

<p>9th Grade Semester 2:
Math: 5-
English: 5+
History: 5+
French: 5
Spanish: 5+
Bio:6
Chemistry:6
-- I also got a 4 in PE, but does that really count?</p>

<p>10th Grade Semester 1:
Math: 4
English: 6
History: 6-
French: 4
Spanish: 5-
Bio: 6
Chemistry: 5</p>

<p>My 10th grade semester 1 grades are not verified but I think they are accurate.</p>

<p>Please tell me, this is my dream college and I just want to know if I still have a chance.</p>

<p>Why are you taking 7 subjects? The IB diploma consists of 6 (plus EE + TOK).</p>

6

<p>I haven’t entered IB yet, I enter next year in 11th grade. In 10th and 9th grade I just do a normal highschool curriculum but with IB grading. I am eligible for IB Diploma so that is when I will take 6 subjects plus EE and TOK.</p>

7

<p>Ah sorry I didn’t see “planning” on taking the IB.</p>

8

<p>No Problem. Do you think I am eligible for McGill undergrad? I know about the website but I want some outside opinions. Thank you.</p>

9

<p>From what I can tell you haven’t started the IB then? so you have at least 2 years until university? It’s impossible to tell from marks that aren’t even the ones you will be using to apply.</p>

10

<p>Does that mean that if I improve my grades for 11th and 12th grade McGill would still consider me, granted I hopefully also aquire good SAT grades? Sorry, I am very concerned.</p>

<p>Sorry I think the US system is different the the one here in the UK. For us only the grades for our final year count towards university applications, so I can’t really hep you on that one… seems kinda early to be worrying about a specific uni requirement 3 years in advance.</p>
