<p>^nice stats. your applying this year correct? Where are you going to apply? By the look of your stats/ECs you seem like a great candidate for all schools, including prestigious ones</p>

<p>EDIT: nvm, I read your other post about where your applying</p>

<p>Does high school GPA matter? Or do they simply look at your CEGEP GPA only? Which one matters the most?</p>

6

<p>Oh and to those applying from cegeps, what do you guys think about the IB program (science) at Champlain College (St-Lambert)?</p>

<p>@leptons they don’t look at your college R-score. It’s too hard to calculate and they can never get all the numbers so…means nothing lol. Every school I called pretty much said the same thing. </p>

<p>My stats were pretty good. I got into USC (where I’ll be going) first choice, NYU in my first choice, and UCLA in my second. I’m still waiting to hear from Columbia, but it doesn’t matter because I’ll be going to USC. I wanted to study film so California > New York.</p>
