Some of the better American colleges are aware that Canadian high schools grade "harder" than American high schools. At most high-level Canadian high schools, you will very rarely see averages exceeding 95.....even if the student is a so-called "rocket scientist". However, if your school has a guidance counselor that is oriented towards American colleges, you should request that they emphasize to your potential schools that the grading system is scaled differently "north of the border".
