Is McGill/University of Toronto a possibility?

<p>Level: 11th grade/Junior
Grade: About an 80 average for grades 9 through 11 (Approx. 2.5 GPA)
SAT: 1910 on my first try this January
AP: Going to do AP Calculus AB & BC this year
Extra Activities: VERY lacking. I'm participating in Model UN which may help.</p>

<p>Keep in mind I go to the top private school in my country (Lebanon) which helps a bit. But my rank is horrible 14/18 or something close to that.</p>

<p>Do I have a realistic chance of getting into those 2 universities? If not how can I make my chances realistic?</p>

<p>Your grades are a little low… that’s the big weakness in your application. As far as McGill is concerned, pay attention to your major; for some majors a 1910 on the SAT will cut it, for others, it will not. But U Toronto is not that picky about the SAT, as long as you score above 1800.</p>

<p>U Toronto: Reach (they say that the vast majority of out-of-province applicants are ranked in the top third of their class)
McGill: Reach (even the least reachy major requires a ~3.3 GPA)</p>
