<p>My younger brother will be applying to some American universities next year, and I had a question regarding GPA. What years do they look at? Is it everything from Grade 9 to Grade 12, or is there more focus on the last year or two like with Canadian schools?</p>
<p>everything with a focus on the last two years. hey does anyone plan on going visiting in April? in particular Penn?</p>
<p>waitlisted at Harvard, suggestions that can get me in?</p>
<p>For Greater Vancouver:
Harvard: U-Hill (1)
PW (2)
Churchill (1)
BNS (1)
Yale: Churchill (1)
Crofton (1)
Princeton: PG (1)
Columbia: PW (1)
Churchill (2)
West Van. (1)
Cornell: Churchill (4)
BNS (4)
Stanford: St. George (1)
Port Moody (1)
You are welcome to add to the list. How come all the bright kids leave Beautiful BC and head to the states?!</p>
<p>Because top private American universities are better than Canadian universities.</p>
<p>My school has:</p>
<p>2 Harvard
2 Yale
2 Princeton
4-5 Columbia
3-4 Penn
1 Caltech
2 Oxford</p>
<p>These are all admits, not necessarily people who will enroll (although probably it'll end up looking that list, with maybe a couple less attending Columbia and Penn due to getting in elsewhere, and I am one of the Princeton admits who may or may not attend Caltech).</p>
<p><em>edit</em> And this is a bad year for our school it's looking like. In 2002 we had some 25ish kids attend Ivy league schools, and then 2-3 attending MIT or Stanford.</p>
<p>My school: kill, has:
1 Middlebury (ED)
1 Cornell (ED)
1 Johns Hopkins (ED, me!:))</p>
<p>This is actually quite a record for us, since we are just an average public school in east vancouver, with more than 2100 kids.</p>
<p>Also, for our neighboring school david thompson:
1 Cornell, Upenn, Columbia</p>
<p>1of42, do you go to UCC?</p>
<p>i think crofton has a few columbia. one princeton. two upenn. one yale. one cornell...etc. </p>
<p>1of42: wow your school is crazy. in what city do you go to?</p>
<p>Our school:
Harvard - 1
Yale - 1 waitlisted
Princeton - 1
Cornell - 2 (& 1 waitlisted)
Dartmouth - 1
NYU - 1
USC - 1
and I think there are a few more that I am unaware of.</p>
<p>I am the one who got into Princeton, Cornell, and waitlisted at Yale. I am going to be attending Prineton. But I didn't count as Canadian in the admission process, because I am a South Korean citizen studying as an international student in Canada.</p>
<p>Dionysus: Good guess ;)</p>
<p>For the record, my comment about 2002 was actually very inaccurate, as that was the double cohort year. However, in previous years we have had more luck - I guess the tougher admission this year is killing everyone.</p>
<p><em>edit</em> My previous list isn't fully accurate. I spoke to the gc today and she suggested there were more admits I didn't know about, but of course she can't say who got in where. Waitlists are also not included on that list.</p>
<p>Burnaby North (currently attending)</p>
<p>1 Harvard ED
1 Dartmouth
1 Cornell ED
2 Cornell likelies</p>
<p>5/6 on ivies so far. not baddddddddd</p>
<p>Crofton House</p>
<p>1 Yale
1 Cornell
1 Columbia
1 Princeton
2 Upenn (1 wharton)</p>
<p>any canadian going/considering/currently attending penn or dartmouth?</p>
<p>Haha there is a Canadian Thread....</p>
<p>I am from T.O too</p>
<p>Now studyin' in Umich</p>
<p>One more Torontonian. Wow, I wrote one of my SAT at UCC, i must admit i love the school campus. Congrats, 1of42. Are you guys competing with UTS again? I wonder about their number of ivies admits this year.</p>
<p>Judy, nice to see u here again. You are quite active at CC.</p>
<p>UTS has two people going to harvard, about 20 people accepted into ivies in general.</p>
<p>I loved UCC too when I took my SATs...</p>
<p>Ironically, I actually took my SATs at Emery (is that how it's spelled?) somewhat out of the city. Makes me feel like I wasted time, going that far. :P Yeah, our campus is nice - I'm definitely going to miss the school at least a bit next year.</p>
<p>As for Ivy admits, it turns out I missed a few people - one Cornell admit, another Princeton, another Yale, at least.</p>
<p>Another Canadian checking in from Vancouver! I'll be going to Princeton next year, seems like there are quite a few of us here.</p>
<p>which school do you come from?
tzhu?</p>
