<p>Huh… I guess US students count as internationals and hence the “competition”. </p>
<p>Keep in mind Canadian unversities don’t require any sort of standardized tests for Canadian students and unless you’re applying to a very specific/specialized undergrad program (not sure what Mcgill’s might be…), they only care about 10-11-12 results and the level of difficulty of the course load.</p>
<p>TBH the system’s really flawed up here in Canada… the universities that list “must have a 85% avg to be considered a competitive applicant” is a bit of a joke since my friends who have 75-80% avgs get in anyway. </p>
<p>The standardized tests for international applicants is simply to gauge the legitimacy of your school grades since it’s different than the Canadian system and has different standards (ie grade inflation filtering). IMO your tests will likely reflect a school system that reflects the Canadian one, backed up by your grades.</p>
<p>I’m not suggesting in anyway that you’ll get in no problem. I’m just trying to ease your anxiety about your achievements not being good enough to be considered!</p>
