<p>YAY! CANADIANS ON CC! I'm from BC, myself.
ive been browsing the boards for a while & finally found a bunch of canadians :D
[im not that new on CC, for some reason it wasnt recording all my posts... so it looks like ive only posted twice]
Im hoping to apply to stanford & harvard, mainly, next year & im wondering how you all prepared for the SATs.. did u take classes or study indepdently?</p>
<p>bumpbumpbump</p>
<p>bump.. anyone still here?</p>
<p>Hey guys, how did your interviews go?</p>
<p>^^ im still a junior.. wait.. grade 11.. damn american talk haha
but how was yours?.. and is the system any different for canadians?</p>
<p>Interview went well. He was really nice. I don't have much hope for Harvard though, 99.9% (or more accurately, 94.5%) sure I'll get a big fat REJECT come April 1st.</p>
<p>Did you guys all have your interviews already? I still haven't been scheduled one. Think I should call?</p>
<p>I knew a kid last year who went to a pretty normal public school in mississauga (large asian and south asian population in the school though and grades are deflated, ie. getting a 90 in English is suppose to be extremely hard). Anyways he got into Harvard, Princeton, and Oxford. Chose Princeton above them all.</p>

<p>Care to back it up with evidence? An Elaboration would be nice lol because I doubt that would occur during such current affairs in which the class of 2013 is applying.</p>
<p>wow.. i just found this thread. Everyone is amazing!</p>
<p>I also applied to Havard, but im I honestly dont expect much. </p>
<p>Ambitiousteen, are u from Toronto?</p>
<p>anyone apply to university of miami?</p>
<p>getting in for the class of 2013 will be harder than 2012, but that does not disqualify his acheivements. I knew the guy and read his acceptance letter, because even though I thought he was a very able student, getting into harvard from mississauga is pretty unheard of.</p>
<p>GL to you all!</p>
<p>I'm not from Toronto, so I'm curious as to why it's unheard of for someone from Mississauga to get in. Isn't it just a massive suburb?</p>
<p>Well very few ppl get in from Mississauga. Toronto, with all the elite private schools, seems to be where its at for top ivies HYP. Other places also send a few to the ivies regularly such as Victoria, BC as well as out East. I believe he was the first from his school (which is a competitive school) to go any Ivy.</p>
<p>I can't believe I never saw this thread!</p>
<p>Anyway, Mississauga/Toronto here. Hi y'all :)</p>
<p>TORONTO1, the person you were talking about, is he/she from Glenforest? I'm asking because GFSS has IB/enhanced.</p>
<p>it was either glenforest or gordon graydon:S I always mix up the two and I believe both have IB/enhanced.</p>
<p>What school do you go to?</p>
<p>haha were any of u guys at deca provincials this year?</p>
<p>Haha, Gordon Graydon has IBT. Not an internationally recognized programme, but definitely the only one around in Mississauga.</p>
<p>I did grade 9 and 10 at Glenforest enhanced, watching my friends do IB.. then I decided I wanted to do IB, which GFSS wouldn't let me do without pre-IB in grade 9/10, so I switched schools into Toronto.</p>
<p>So yes =) </p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>Out east? I'm going to guess that means Montreal. My interviewer said that on average, 25-30 Atlantic Canadians will apply and maybe one will get in, although it's often none and the most has been four in one year. No quota's, but I guess that's how things go.</p>
<p>COMPILED FROM THE NON DEFINITIVE LIST OF HARVARD MATRICULANTS
02138</a> - December 2008</p>
<p>For the class of 2012, there are 35 Canadians
assuming Canadian yield rate is about the same as the overall rate and that this survey might have missed a few, that means the number accepted is probably in the high-40s</p>
<p>going further...
12ish from Toronto and surrounding region
5 from vancouver
2 from victoria
2 from montreal
1 from ottawa
1 from halifax</p>
