<p>ok. cool. Is my gpa good though? Nobody said anything about my gpa. And, do they look at weighted gpa?</p>
<p>I have no idea if they look at weighted GPA or not, but your GPA should be good enough for them. They have some weird minimum stuff about getting like above certain averages in certain subjects...really weird...I don't know where it is online but they told me about it when I visited. Anyway, with a 3.6 you most likely meet the requirements. (For example, someone like you going into math may need a B+ or higher math average...I just made that one up though, but things like that).</p>
<p>I have an A- gpa in math and a B+ gpa in science. I have an 800 on math 2c and their minimum score was 540-580 so I am way above that. I will take the biology in june and hopefully get over 700 on it.</p>
<p>Yeah CHILL! Canadian universities are the fairly easy to admit into.</p>
<p>DO YOUR BEST AND YOU WILL GET IN!</p>
<p>they aren't fairly easy. Some are, but a lot of them are not. </p>
<p>Do I have a chance at UBC? I checked them out and they are pretty good.</p>
<p>Come on bro, I can get into any Canadian university.</p>
<p>But Harvard and MIT, hmm....</p>
<p>Yes, I think you have a good chance at UBC even without improving the test scores at all. I don't know much about UBC (Did not look there because it is far away from me), so I'm not sure exactly what you're chances are, but looking at my school's naviance program, your chances look good.</p>
<p>ok, thats cool. I could use that as a safety school then.</p>
<p>does anyone else think I have a chance at mcgill?</p>
<p>I think the point is that you have an apparently good GPA for McGill, and that and the SAT's (including 2 SAT II's) are what they care about, but it is a highly competitive school for American HS applicants becuase they accept only a certain number and a lot of qualified students apply.</p>
<p>but I am not really american HS applicant. I have dual citizenship so I am looked at differently.</p>
<p>Hey, I'm from Ontario but used to live in Quebec so I know how both education systems work. For Ontario students the majority of universities you apply to only care about grades (percents, not that gpa stuff). The main difference between the ontario system and the US system is we don't have GPA. Not just with some exceptions its not <em>that</em> easy to get into a decent school becuase not all of us have 4.0 GPAs and we don't distinguish by race ie asian blacks etc. IMO thats just messed to begin with but I won't start off on that.</p>
<p>Mcgill is located in quebec, and while international most students are from QC. and they use the CGEP system where 90's and 4.0's etc are simply unheard of. CGEP is kinda like precollege and the courses can be extremely challenging.</p>
<p>In ontario we don't take standardized tests that determine admission, we do take a test in gr10 that must be passed to graduate from HS but its essentially a joke to make sure you are literate. I guess one of the main difference is that in terms of population size, the usa has ALOT more people applying to some specific schools like harvard thus the competition increases but the population is smaller and u have less competition in the USA. But in terms of cirriculum and grading yeah, the reason why we don't have SATs etc, is becuase we don't all get 4.0's.</p>
<p>I like that system a lot more than the one we have. More than 60 people in my class have a 4.0. It is insane.</p>
<p>bump....bump....</p>
<p>I just found out my AMC 12 score. I have a 115. I answered questions 1-15 correctly and left the rest blank. I'm so glad that I got a 115. Will this help me at all?</p>
<p>Yes, it will help you some, but this is where I see a problem. You are saying that math will be your hook to get you into college, yet your math is not all that spectacular. It is good- better than I got, and will help you at good match schools, but compared to others applying to top schools, it's on the low side. Several people at my school scored higher. Also, see how you do on the AIME because even though the AMC isn't spectacular a great AIME would mean even more.</p>
