<p>Hey guys
I am a Canadian junior student currently enrolled in the IB program. I want to go into pre-med to a good univ. in the US, preferably in the top 20 ranks. I am not sure about my major yet but i still want to get a rough idea about my chances. I need little to no financial aid for my undergrad.</p>
<p>Background: I came to Canada from South Asia when i was 13 years old ( I am 16 now) and knew very little english. As you can tell, i have improved in that department. Hopefully stressing this will help me in some schools</p>
<p>To give you guys an idea of what type of student i am, i had a 90% percent avg. throughout my pre-IB years. Got bunch of awards within school ...nothing special though. Next year, i am taking IB biology, IB Chemistry, Higher level/ IB Math, IB French and more. As far as my
recommendations go, i am certain i can get really good ones and i am also very confident about my essay.</p>
<p>SAT 1:
Math: 740
Writing: 720
Critical Writing: 650
Total: 2110 (will study and aim for 2250)</p>
<p>Extra-Curriculars: ( I am not gonna lie. my ECs need some work)

-Junior Soccer Team(9,10.. city runner ups)
-Peer Tutor(9,10)

<p>Volunteer: (so far, around 150 hours... aiming for 400)
