Which Canadian Universities can I get into for Physics Major?

<p>I am a high school student from India. I am applying to Canada this month and I am really confused about which universities I should apply to (I was thinking of applying to all the good ones but the application fees are too damn expensive). I want to major in physics and go into research later in life.</p>

<p>I'll be giving by final board exams in March 2013. I'll be getting marks in 5 subjects- English, Math, Physics, Chemistry and Psychology. I am pretty sure i'll get 90+ out of 100 in Math, Physics and Psychology. For Chemistry and English around 80-90. I also gave the SAT in June and got just 1780 (680 in Math and 550 in the other 2 sections) cause I didn't study anything for it. </p>

<p>I only have a few ECs like olympiads and quizzes so I don't think it will do any good.</p>

<p>I have UBC, University of Toronto, University of Alberta, University of Waterloo and Mcgill University in mind. I don't want to waste money by applying to all of them (if I do, it'll cost around $500). Will I get into UBC or UofT with the kinda marks I will get because I have heard they are very competitive? Will I get into any of the above I have mentioned? Which ones should I choose?</p>

<p>Also, do I have a chance of getting any scholarship?</p>

<p>McGill has one of the best physics programs in the country. I don’t know if it asks for SAT scores from international students, but if it does I think theres a minimum score needed of 600 in each section so you would need to retake it if they need it from you.</p>

<p>If you are having a hard time paying for the application fees, I have no idea how u are going to pay for the tuition, which will be around 26,000 (40,000 with room and board)</p>

<p>Anyways, ur SAT scores are too low to go to any top university in Canada, so I suggest u to retake them. </p>

<p>Also, schools like McGill, UBC, and Uwaterloo want around 92% (GPA) at least for their science programs.</p>

<p>The universities aren’t asking for SAT scores as far as I can tell. I’ll apply for financial aid, I don’t think I can afford the tution. Yeah I have realized I don’t have much of a chance of getting into UBC or UofT, I am going with Waterloo and Alberta for now.</p>

<p>May I ask, did you get into Waterloo? I’m planning on applying there.
Also, did you send your pre-boards marks or do they wait for your boards marks to come out(which usually do around the last week of May)? </p>
