<p>I'm a grade 11 high school student from Canada. We only keep grades for transcripts starting at grade 11 so this is the first year of our marks truly mattering. I've got a 4.75/5 GPA in Canada which is equivalent to a 3.8 in the US. I'm ranked 7 out of 1,300 kids in our school percentage wise as I have a percent average of 93.33. I have received a high A (over 90%) in all the science and math courses I'm taking (bio 11, physics11, chem11 and bio 12). I plan next year to take law 12, Chem 12, calc 12, math 12 honors, physics 12, English 12, French 12, and history 12. Every course I have mentioned thus far has been honor or AP if available in that chosen subject of study. I have been an honors student all through high school and have many awards for both academic and athletic excellence. I'm ranked 3rd provincially for men's under 18 tennis as a 16 year old and plan to use my tennis as a way to get some scholarships. My dreams to get into an Ivey and ideally Princeton or Yale. We don't do the SAT's and other major testing until grade 12. My EC's include; volunteering at the hospital, volunteering at the British Columbia cancer foundation and agency, volunteer for the "I can shine" organization teaching kids with life threatening injuries how to bike, I work at the newest local hotel as a door boy, and am a member of almost every prestigious club our city has to offer ; tennis club, country club, golf club, marine biology association. My goal is to get into the faculty of science and specifically premed and hopefully study biochemistry. I haven't done my research on the differences between American and Canadian universities so if my terminology seems off at all, please correct me. It would be much appreciated if I could get some replies on my chances, where to improve, things that aided you in your admittance, and anything relevant actually. I struggle finding EC's or things I could do out of school that could aid my chances if acceptance. Anything will help.</p>
<p>Cheers,
