<p>HOWDY! I'm from Alberta (moved here recently from Ontario) and I'm applying to a handful of American schools (HYPS, Columbia, Cornell, etc.). My Canadian choices are probably going to be UCalgary, UBC, Toronto, and McGill. </p>

<p>Has anyone else suffered from the stigma of applying to schools down south (you're selling out/why would you pay that much money comments)? I have had my fair share! But I'm determined. I'm thinking of applying Yale SCEA. It's gonna be crazy though. Ack. </p>

<p>Let's get to know each other!</p>

<p>Hey there, I'm in the same boat as you :] We're thinking of the same schools too haha... Are you a little freaked out about the whole application process? Because I sure am. I'm from BC BTW.</p>

3

<p>It seems most people on CC are from BC! I haven't ran into too many people from Ontario (and none from Alberta)</p>

<p>My school suffers from terrible mark deflation. It's rather depressing. Are your guidance counselors helpful at all?</p>

4

<p>Aww well if your school deflates grades, your class rank should show that since it's relative. HAHAHAH guidance counselors are such a joke when it comes to US schools.</p>

5

<p>No, the position of guidance counselor was joke all along and it always will be :D
I'm from BC too, but too bad I'm not a 08er.</p>

6

<p>im another 08er from bc.....and im SO freaked out about this admission proccess...</p>

7

<p>Hey how many US schools are you guys applying to?</p>

8

<p>The plan is 8. If I get accepted to Yale EA though (hahaahah I wish!), that list drops to 4 in total. </p>

<p>As for Canadian schools, I'm thinking 3 or 4 (McGill, UToronto, Western, Waterloo maybe)</p>

9

<p>menuetto, are you from Edmonton or Calgary?</p>

10

<p>Home of the Flames!</p>

<p>Hahaha...I like how you make it sound like there are only two cities in Alberta! I'm presuming you're from Alberta too? Are you applying to colleges this year?</p>

11

<p>haha no i was class of 11 for college :)
and I am from Edmonton :P
well, good luck on your college admission process! :D</p>

12

<p>Good luck to all the Canadians applying for 2008.</p>

13

<p>Thanks, we'll definitely need luck!</p>

<p>coolness_rookie, what school do you go to then?</p>

14

<p>heyall! i am from TO :) ...but i am not an 08er</p>

15

<p>I'm sure there are plenty of 08ers lurking around!</p>

<p>I<3Pi your stats look amazing =) </p>

<p>And I guess we really will be needing all the luck we can get!</p>

16

<p>Thank you :]</p>

17

<p>I will be attending Princeton starting in September.</p>

18

<p>Wow nice!!! Best of luck to you! And if you got any tips for us Canadian 08ers... ;)</p>

<p>menuetto, I just realized that you've PMed me before! Haha</p>

19

<p>haha, I guess I was just lucky.</p>

<p>I don't think my tips would help too much, cuz even though I've been studying in Canada, I was considered as South Korean when I applied (I'm just an international student in Canada...south korean citizenship). </p>

<p>Anyways, good luck to all!</p>
