Hi,
My name is Rami. I’m an international student studying at an American school in Dubai. I’m currently applying to universities and McGill seemed like an excellent university for my Pre-med program. I currently have a 4.0 GPA (98 average), 1900 SAT (700 Math, 600 Reading and Writing), and by the time I graduate, I complete 4 AP courses including Biology and Chemistry. I did my SAT 2s and scored 670 on Biology 650 on chemistry, and 700 on Math 2. Even though extracurriculars aren’t really taken into account when making the admission decision but I’ve done tons of social work in the far-east, and I’m currently head of 3 different after school clubs. I know my SAT might not be good enough, but do you honestly think I’ll be able to get in? Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thank you.
If you are following the American curriculum here are he minimum requirements:

For life sciences your SAT is a problem.
@TomSrOfBoston wouldn’t the fact that I come from a non-English speaking country make the admission decision more flexible with SAT? Plus wouldn’t my high GPA and the multiple AP courses kind of cover up?
Thank you for the reply
If you are in an American high school abroad you are reviewed as an American. You must meet all minimum requirements. One does not “make up” for another.
@NikiMinjeFan3929 Since you’re a Harvard graduate, do you have any suggestions on which undergrad school in the US and Canada would make the perfect fit for my application?
Thank you for your time sir
