Hi there, I’m currently a rising senior from Canada. My freshman and sophmore grades were terrifyingly low, an average of 73% for both years (to put this in context a 73% in Canada is equal to a B).
However, after kicking my own ass I managed to get my junior year average up to a 96%.
(I’m also currently enrolled in the IB program in case that has any effect on my GPA, not quite sure how weighting works as we don’t work with GPAs in Canada)
Aside from my GPA/Grades, here are my stats:
SAT : 1560 out of 1600
SAT II Math: 770
AP (Tests taken outside of school as my school doesn’t offer AP scores):
US Gov: 5
AP Psych: 5
AP US History: 5
AP Euro History: 5
IB Scores:
French: 7

If my average continues to stay around the 90s range during my senior year, do I have a shot?
Thanks for any input!
