| Do you have any idea what the average GPA at your school is? Do you have a class rank or can your counsellor provide you with an estimated rank?
For the schools you have in mind, you should be at least in the top 25% of your class, better yet in the top 10% - on the other hand, school systems vary throughout countries so that might not apply to you. If for example only the top 20% of the students in the general population might attend your high school to begin with, being "only" in the top 50% is not that bad. If your school is significantly more selective than most other high schools in your country, definitely have a school official elaborate on this issue! |
