McGill Chances

Colleges and Universities A-Z McGill University

Hi guys,
I am a high school student in New York and I am really hoping to go to McGill University in Montreal. I’ve heard that applying as a foreign student is much harder, but I am still hoping to have some sort of chance.

Currently I have an unweighted GPA of 3.4. I understand this is not good by McGill’s standards but I was wondering if McGill would consider the academic strength of my high school.
As for standardized exams I currently have a 2200 on my SATs, 780-800 on all my SAT IIs (I took 3) and I am hoping to get 5’s or at least 4’s on my AP exams.

Could anyone please give me some of idea of what my chances are?

I have standardized test scores a bit lower than you but a 3.85 unweighted GPA. But since I applied to Life Sciences, odds were against me. In the end I was admitted much later than most people (a week ago) and tbh I was a bit surprised. I came from a really hard HS in the Silicon Valley and I felt like McGill must have considered the fact that some high schools are hard and regard these GPAs highly.
