<p>only 1 view in 30 minutes...ugh</p>

3

<p>Oh yah and im planning on taking PRE-MED</p>

4

<p>test scores?</p>

5

<p>taking all of them very soon
considering im not a wiz at tests i should do pretty good</p>

6

<p>that's a big part of what most of those schools are lookin at. so it's hard to say right now where you'd go. come back after you've taken the SAT/ACT.</p>

7

<p>wat do u think of my grades, ec's though token?</p>

8

<p>where's 9th grade? and how can you do projections when you haven't even started the school year?</p>

9

<p>i didnt reall think i needed to post 9th grade but i averaged a 90. Uhm ive already started 12th grade because I go to a self-directed school students can go at there own pace and i finished my grade 11 work in april and im about half way through my grade 12 courses so ill be done school around december next year</p>

10

<p>whoa ****. well um do cumulative averages for sophomore and junior year. i don't feel like it</p>

11

<p>86 average grade 10
94 average grade 11</p>

12

<p>90,86,94 looks good enough for the schools ur lookin at. i think USC will be your toughest customer though (but i've never heard of the university of british columbia. i'm from texas).</p>

13

<p>well UBC i heard has some of the best Pre-med and medical schools in Canada from local doctors. The only reason im applying there is because Im not sure if a canadian citizen can get financial aid at universities down there, but thats just what ive heard do u know token?</p>

14

<p>no earthly idea</p>

15

<p>bump
any other input other than token</p>

16

<p>doubt it.....</p>

17

<p>bump again</p>

18

<p>someone respond.</p>

19

<p>wowwww 1 person responded and hes not even in university...</p>

<p>Do well on your Gr. 12 provincials, and you're in at UBC. They usually take your top 5 provincials including english, and since provincials are hard to do well on if you try hard, you should be fine =)</p>
