Chances for UofT, McMaster, John Hopkins?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello everyone!
I am currently a grade 11 student at a private boarding school called Ridley College.</p>

<p>I am looking to go into medicine or finance in the future, and I made this thread for medicine</p>

<p>The schools I am looking to get into are any of these:</p>

<p>John Hopkins
U of T
McMaster
McGill
UCBerkley
UCLA
Harvard
Stanford</p>

<p>I currently am taking these courses and ec's:</p>

<p>Ridley College (University Prep School)</p>

<p>Taking IB</p>

<p>Currently around high 6's/low 7's in IB (low to mid 90%'s) (around a 40 total)</p>

<p>Ridley-Public School change if I weren't in IB is around 8% (I had a 90% in grade 10, translated to a 98% in a public school)</p>

<p>Taking HL Business, English, and Chemistry</p>

<p>Have sports year round since grade 9, involved with rowing for 1st term, soccer for second term, racquet sport or soccer again for third (haven't chosen yet)</p>

<p>Own a company called ComputifyIT Design (specializes in computer builds, repairs, and website development.)</p>

<p>Co-Founder of a Volunteer Non-Profit Organization known as Niagara Action Kids</p>

<p>Black Belt in Karate</p>

<p>Certified Lifeguard and Level C AED/Defib usage</p>

<p>In the process of designing an Apple App for app store</p>

<p>Own and designed many websites</p>

<p>Volunteer weekly at Hospital, around 400 hours by graduation</p>

<p>Duke Of Edinburgh Gold Complete, awarded by member of Royal Family</p>

<p>Ridley College Cadet Core (Army Cadets): Doing Gold Star, complete Green Star, Red Star, and Silver Star. Gold Star is a very high rank only held by 10 or so students in the school</p>

<p>DONE!</p>

<p>Do you think this is enough for any of those schools?</p>

<p>Please take in account that you are not going directly into medicine. Biomedical science is the best fit for a pre-med.</p>

<p>U Toronto and McGill are not holistic. That said, here are my comments:</p>

<p>U Toronto: Will only take in account your best six 4U and 4M classes; I assume your best six 4U and 4M classes are over 90% average so I would consider U Toronto a low match.</p>

<p>McGill: Ridley College being a private school in Ontario, the Ontario standards apply to you. You need 4 classes at the 4U level, English, calculus, physics and chemistry. Biomedical is a match.</p>

<p>Harvard: Reach
Stanford: Reach
JHU: Score 31+ on the ACT or 2130+ on the SAT and it becomes reachable
McMaster: Safety</p>

<p>I wonder how 4U and 4M classes would stack up at UCB and UCLA; they’d calculate a GPA of their own, taking into account that your best eight honors/IB/AP courses are up one grade point. But, at these schools, provided that you can afford to attend full-pay, scoring 31+ on the ACT/2130+ on the SAT would make you a match for those places.</p>

<p>Sorry, when you say “reach”, what do you mean by that? Thanks!
Do you mean it is in my reach? Or out of it?</p>
