<p>ECs: extra-curriculars</p>
<p>U Manitoba (UMB) is the easiest of the five Canadian schools to get into. If you get into USF, you can get into UMB. But Canadian schools don’t ask for that much with respect to the SAT/ACT either, unless you want to attend U Toronto for engineering/Rotman or UBC Sauder/engineering; Canadian colleges are otherwise doable with a 26 on the ACT/1800 on the SAT.</p>
<p>The reason why Canadian colleges don’t ask for SAT/ACT scores from IB applicants is because there are (presumably international) applicants with IB full diplomas but that didn’t take the SAT/ACT and they do not want to penalize them.</p>
