<p>Hey everyone my name is Brendon and I live in Vancouver British Columbia. I come from an upperclass family making 150+ a year. Im looking of applying to UCSC, UCSD, UCSB, and UMiami and PEPPERDINE. Im looking to do pre-med then medical school to become a doctor. My motive for that was because when I was 5 I had a brain tumor that gave me 1 percent chance of surviving. Only 40 people in history had this tumor and only a few survived. I probably will be writing about that in my essays.</p>

<p>I go to a self directed school where students pace themself and teach themselves. Only 3 schools in Canada are like this and students attend seminars etc really preparing you for how University is.</p>

<p>Hi brendon ,
You look like you have a very good chance, grades seem to be well within the range..ec's are good and your church association is a plus as well as your service activity. I do know they have grea theater dept. that allows for open auditions for their performances, which may be of interest to you. My daughter's suite mate last year was a pre-med major. So good luck!</p>

<p>Most Catholic schools scale 93 is an A. The scale is higher ovverall, but I think the colleges are aware of this and take that into consideration.</p>
