What would be considered a competitive GPA in Grad School app?

<p>I am from UBC (Canada) and currently first year in engineering.</p>

<p>UBC uses a percentage system rather than the regular 4.0 GPA system. I was wondering for UBC engineering student who wants to study at one of the top American Engineering Grad Schools, e.g. UC-Berkeley, Princeton, etc. How high a percentage is considered competitive?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot! :D</p>
