Should I do ED?

Your GPA and IB scores are mediocre, so you can’t really count on them to pull you out of the hole. And quite honestly, your ecs and volunteering aren’t spectacular. I could discern music as one of your stronger passions. So maybe you’d want to highlight that with your essays? Then again, you got a good deal of math and science peppered in (like a typical Asian). So it’ll take effort to make yourself stand out amongst the other Vancouverians who apply.

Your academics are below par, 39/45 is not great

<p>As an IB Student, I have to disagree. 39/45 (predicted) on the IB Diploma is damn good, considering actual results end up being higher. Scroll down in this page, and one can clearly see that Oxford gives offers with scores that range from 38+</p>

<p>I think you will have a harder time as an international applicant, but you have good stats IMO. I think you have a shot.</p>
