Canadian- Different Standards?

<p>I was just wondering if somebod could chance me for some of my top choice schools as they are pretty similar. Yes, I will retake all of my standardized testing as my math score was exceptionally low and that is an anomaly. But, I have heard that for Canadian students, less is expected in Math and Science Tests because our curriculum simply does not cover the same material that the College Board expects us to know. (I had to teach myself a TON of material for chemistry) Anyways, just would like to know if I would have a chance, considering my SAT score should be around 2350 once I re-write it, as my practice tests are around that range.</p>

<p>Most of the schools on this list have extremely low admit rates – whether or not a Cdn applicant gets a boost or disadvantage is negligible. The vast vast majority of applicants, Cdn or not, won’t be accepted. All you can do is to present yourself as best as possible and hope for the best. Kill that SAT and have some great personal statements. Good luck.</p>
