Any input will be nice !

Your SAT is a little bit low, but your GPA should be okay. I'm not really sure how that converts to the US system. I'd say you have a fair chance at getting in.

Id say its a reach, your grades average to about a low C (which would be like a 2.0 in US GPA), and ur SAT score is low. Good luck tho!

Thanks I guess.. But our school sets extremely difficult papers so thats why my marks seem low but I hope the admissions officers understand when they see my rank !
