Would I have more chances at top US universities than top Canadian univ if I have low GPA but good ECs and SAT scores? because all Canadian universities look at is averages..
Depends which Canadian universities you're looking at and for what programs. Most programs have a cut-off average, but then requires a supplementary where you can expand on things like ECs (which you seem to excel at). American schools definitely have a more holistic approach, but your GPA should still remain competitive (mid-high 80s). There is a greater breadth in terms of choices so your chances are buoyed by a combination of probability and good SAT scores/ECs.

Are you Canadian?
