<p>Hi Helen,</p>

<p>Do you know what kind of grades you’re expecting at the IB? I know Sauder is competitive (mid-high 30s) but I’ve also heard that they really love extracurriculars… and you look like you have a ton of those! As long as your IB results are good, I think you have a decent chance!</p>

<p>@CharlesSA‌ Thank you for your comment! My IB predicted grade will very likely be 40.</p>
