<p>I lived in France from age 7-16, so my 9th and 10th year grades don't have Honors or APs since those don't exist in France. Therefore my GPA isn't high when it is cumulative (2.9) but if you look at my Junior year of HS it is 4.1. And my senior grades are looking the same so far.</p>

<p>I'm hoping since i've spent so much of my life in France, that might score me some points? I speak fluent french.</p>

<p>I took 2 AP exams last year: Psychology and French, and got 5 on both.
I am taking AP European History this year and ALL Honors classes. (And i'll be taking the AP European History AP Test)</p>

<p>SAT:
Critical Reading: 660
Writing: 720
Math: 520</p>

<p>Subject test:
Literature: 640
French Language: 800</p>

<p>I'm the photographer and web designer of my school newspaper, I babysit and do french tutoring, I do community work for the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity, but have only done so since about a month. I play the piano and do portrait photography. I've been in clubs such as FBLA and the French Club and have also been a lead actress in drama class.</p>

<p>I want to major in French or Psychology.</p>

<p>Any opinion?</p>

<p>Anyone? :/</p>

<p>I don’t think they count 9th grade grades in Canada.</p>

<p>Also, it is my understanding that they might only look at certain grades, such as your grades in your intended area of study.</p>

<p>So I would definitely apply.</p>

<p>I think the math sat might be a bigger obstacle than your gpa.</p>

<p>If you don’t apply, you have rejected yourself. So why do that?</p>

<p>Also, it is my understanding that ECs don’t count that much in Canada.</p>

<p>Awesome! Thanks for the heads up and opinion!
Canadian applications are very different than US ones it seems. If I remember well they don’t even have an “essay” section, I guess that’s what made me worry, I just wonder what they admit you based on…</p>
