<p>Hello, I was wondering what my chances are.

<p>BTW, For grad school, is it easier to go to US grad school from US or Canada?</p>

<p>Country: Canada
Gender: Male
Race: East Asian</p>

<p>IB Score: 38-40
Chem HL
Bio HL
Geo HL</p>

<p>SAT I
CR: 580 (Retaking because of low CR)
MA: 760
WR: 760
Toefl: 113</p>

<p>SATII
Math lvl 2: 760 (Retaking)
Chem: 700 (Retaking)
Korean: 800</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>What is your GPA? As an international student, your scores do not set you apart from any other international student for example from China.</p>

<p>Any of the schools you listed are going to be reach schools.</p>

<p>I am not sure how to convert IB score to GPA but my marks are as follow
Math SL 7
English SL 6
French SL 6
Chem HL 6
Geo HL 5
Bio HL 6
Bonus 2 or 3</p>

<p>And I’m not versed on what a good IB score is either. Anyways what are your EC’s?</p>

<p>IB Score
7=96%
6=90%
5=86%</p>

<p>2 years of school yearbook
1 year of Co-Editor in Chief of School yearbook
School clubs exec
150 hours of volunteering
commonwealth essay competition commended
nothing special</p>

<p>In all honesty, every single ivy will be an extremely high reach for you. Without a 2400 SAT, stellar extracurriculars, and something that sets you apart nobody has a good chance at getting in, let alone an international student.</p>

<p>I don’t even wanna bother with Ivy league. My current goal is UC Berkeley, but I still feel safe with what I have right now.</p>
