Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>SAT - Math:770, CR:560, W:570 (Hoping to raise it)</p>

<p>I do the IB program, and my subject choises are and my scores in it:</p>

<p>Math HL - 6 (A)
Chem HL - 7 (A+)
Physics HL - 6 (A)
Environmental Studies SL - 7 (A+)
English Lang and Lit SL - 5 (B)
German Ab initio SL - 5 (B+)</p>

<p>My counselor said the subject choice was very rigorous, and only 4-5% of the full IB diploma candidates have such rigorous subject choice. </p>

<p>The letter grade translations were done by myself, but IB is considered much more difficult than the American system.</p>

<p>These subject choices are the most rigorous in the IB diploma.</p>

<p>I had a research internship at my field of interest and the supervisor will be writing me a recommendation letter.</p>

<p>I am doing a research myself and I will be sending in the abstract with the application.</p>

<p>I think all my recommendations will be good if not great. </p>

<p>What is your cumulative gpa?</p>

<p>For the three Canadian schools you need an SAT above 2000 to stand a good chance so with your scores all of them are high reaches just based on that.</p>

3

<p>Cornell: Reach
Brown: Reach
UCLA: Reach
UIUC: Match/High match
Purdue: Match
UT Austin: Reach</p>

<p>For Canadian schools, I used IB (36) without regard to the SAT.</p>

<p>UBC: Safety (even Sauder if so you wanted)
U Toronto: Low match (safety if ToK+EE is 2 or 3)
McGill biological sciences: High reach (unless ToK+EE amounts to at least 1)
McGill environmental science: Safety</p>
