<p>your math score is too low for most departments at McGill (they adhere to strict cutooffs)-you need to get it to 620.</p>

i guess you're implying the courseload is like stuyvesant/hunter h.s. material? if so, then i guess the GPA isn't too bad, but definitely not great. your scores, however, do not reflect that. i also don't think you are a legacy at cornell. they ask for parents. your brother going there helps, but your scores are very low for cornell. you'll probably get into maryland, toronto, and BU. good luck.</p>

<p>OP wants to study art history, i doubt you need a 620 for that.</p>

<p>An 88 grade average isn't great, plus the poor test scores and ECs... definitely shut you out of Cornell, even if you had all the legacy in the world.</p>
