Thought to start this a little early - for everyone that is wondering what stats you need for universities, or where you have currently applied! This is for both people who have applied to U.S./Canadian colleges as a Canadian student and U.S. students who have applied to Canada. This is both a discussion thread and for anyone that wants to post their stats so the rest of us can see what we are up against.
Thank you to @ViggyRam - I copied this from one of your posts, thank you

General Comments (and view on the whole process, advice for future Canadian CC’ers and where you are headed!): :)>- :)>- :)>- :)>- :)>-
Hi fellow Canadians I haven’t really finished my application yet so I don’t think it would be of much help to anyone if I posted that (even retaking my SATs…) but I’m wondering where you guys are applying to?
I’m stuck between Penn ED and Yale SCEA… both wonderful places to study bio, both incredibly hard to get into.
I’m not sure. I’m in my senior year, and just saw my transcript for the first time, with my gpa. My 4-year gpa is 3.7, with freshman 3.67, soph 3.41 (ouch) and junior 4.00. I took 3 honours classes in my sophomore year, my lowest grade being from a pre-calc honours class that had a very low class average due to a poor teacher, resulting in the teacher being fired. Do you think my low sophomore year gpa will be a huge factor in admissions for American schools? I’m wondering because Canadian schools mostly only look at grades from junior year.
Without electives, my freshman gpa would be 4.00, making my overall 3.8 if that helps. I’d be hoping to apply to schools like Northwestern, Penn, Berkeley.
@BlingBlingBling that’s too bad, but you still have a shot right! And if it doesn’t work out I’m sure you’ll find where you’re meant to be… I’m also applying to U of T, are you applying to Trinity there?
